In Alexander Pope’s mock-epic poem “The R*pe of the
Lock” the intended meaning of the first phrase of excerpt “a heav’nly image” is
(d), it represents Belinda's reflection in the mirror. Pope’s intention was to
show how much Belinda puts value in make-up and her bowing to see her reflection
in mirror represents her narcissism – she religiously bows to her religion of
narcissism.
The second phrase intended meaning from the excerpt "all
Arabia breathes" is (b.) perfume imported from Arabia. In her jewelry box
on her vanity, Belinda has “gems” imported from Arabia that respire the scent of
the “all Arabia”. In this line Pope uses a synecdoche encouraging the reader to
imagine the sensual scents from the open box that fill the room.
<span>The third phrase intended meaning from excerpt "The
Tortoise here and the Elephant" is (d.) combs made from tortoise shell and
elephant tusk. Pope uses metonymy in this line (tortoise =tortoise’s shell;
elephant=ivory) to suggest bizarre union of tortoise and elephant as contrasted
textures of glamorous combs.</span>
The poem by Alexander Pope connects a small incident - a woman named Arabella Fermor's hair cut by her suitor - to the mythological world of Gods. The title is a reference to the incident, but the word r'pe is not used in modern meaning; here it means to grab, to carry off something.
1) <em>a heav’nly image</em> is a metaphor to the girl in the poem which means that she appears at the mirror after waking up. This girl is Arabella Fermor who is fictionalized as Belinda in the poem. The correct answer is C.
2) The line "And all Arabia breathes from yonder box" continues as various offerings of the world. The author counts many different valuable things from all around the World in the period of British reign and expansion. The phrase <em>all Arabia breathes</em> means perfume imported from Arabia which Belinda uses. The correct answer is B.
3) Again it is the continuation of this wealth from all around the world with the description of Belinda's combs made from tortoise shell and elephant tusk. The correct answer is D.
There is no need to put a comma after Jeremy , however to seperate the sentence to make the grammar correct you would need to put a comma after "and I".
