"When You Are Old" by William Butler Yeats is a poem by a speaker who reflects on a former lover he has lost. The poet tells the woman to think of all the men who have loved her in the past, and how most of them have loved her only because of her beauty, and other false reasons.

Explain in your own words the purpose of Puritan ministers preaching sermons called 'jeremiads' that vehemently

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Puritans were protestors in 16th and 17th century who scared people with their sermons.

Explanation:

“Sermon” is a religious talk given in church. Puritans wanted to purify the ''Church of England'' from the ''Roman catholic practices''. They observed that there is a decrease in the number of religious devotees of ''second-generation'' settlers. To increase this, they 'preached' a type of sermon called "jeremiad". This sermon basically wanted to scare people by stating that if anyone committed any sin, they would be tortured and burnt in hell.

By all this, people would remain Puritan and believe in God and Church.

Vesnalui [34]

The correct answer is C. With the repetition of "nevermore".

With each repetition, the amount of melancholy increases because nevermore at first seems nonsensical and then his questions all lead towards a sensible and rather depressing answer "nevermore"
