Read the beginning of the poem "A Dream Deferred," by Langston Hughes. What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a r
aisin in the sun? What is the author saying about dreams that are deferred (postponed)? They might become dry and lifeless. They might grow and become larger. They might blossom like fruit. They might change for the better.
explanation: Because if you postpone your dreams and you don't work to acheive them as soon as you think of them, then they will become lifeless, because you aren't making them a reality.
The second sentence, because "sometimes anything" goes with the verb form "beats". "Sometimes anything beats" is more correct than "sometimes anything beat"
