Answer:
The two lines are:
And we are here as on a darkening plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight
Explanation:
From the excerpt, the above set of lines actually suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith.
This is true because from the passage, the speaker reveals that there is a world that lies before them like a land of dream which they see as beautiful and new. The speaker discovers that the world has neither joy, nor peace, nor love, nor help for pain and then realizes that they are "on a darkening plain" and "swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight". It means that what they expected from the world they saw as land of dream wasn't what they actually found it out to be.
This then suggests that the speaker has undergone loss of hope.
I am not too sure there is a clear answer to this question: in principle, you could hold a speech of 10 minutes on any topic, but the depth of the treatment of the topic would have to be adjusted.
I would choose answer <span>C. the history of modern interior design: describing a history of anything requires a lot of details, and those need time.
Specifically, I find that options A and B are very easily condensed for 10 minutes: they are in any case not good options.
D. depends on whether this is just a general introduction or a very detailed, practically oriented, tutorial. </span>
