The first poem has the answer D. About the tiger
In this question the options are missing; here are the options:
What would a story written about this historical time most likely include?
A. A character receiving an order from General Washington to set the creek on fire.
B. Events resulting from a terrible snowstorm that occurred in February 1783.
C. A conflict between city people and country people being resolved.
D. General Washington's boyhood home in Virginia being described.
The answer to this question is A. A character receiving an order from General Washington to set the creek on fire.
Explanation:
The excerpt focuses on the idea General Washington wanted to set the creek on fire. This is explained in "the river or creek...might be set on fire...and as General Washington had a mind to try the experiment". In this context, if a story is created using this information or context, it is expected the story focuses on how the creek is set on fire. Moreover, it is expected General Washington is the one that leads this action and that he gives orders to others to complete it. According to this, the correct answer is the first option.
D should be correct. Hope I helped, tell me if I am incorrect :3
The correct answer is: Nature works as a tool for introspection and comfort for humans.
Nature was a rich source of inspiration in romantic literature. However, the main reason for this was the fact that it resembles and represents humanity's (and individuals') inner struggles. The excerpt "do you not find a strange analogy for something in yourself" confirms this. In Melville's view, the ocean is the irrational, wild, frightening, unexplored side of human nature, which breeds monsters.
On the other hand, the earth is solid, rational, fertile and life-giving.
I believe that would be a Cell :)
