This question is based on the following paragraph. In American society, romantic love is considered the main reason for people t

o marry. On the other hand, in some societies, romantic love is considered a form of obsession or madness. In fact, even in many societies where "true love" is not considered a form of insanity, arranged marriages are still the norm. For example, in many cultures it's believed that marriage is basically an economic arrangement. Thus, a farmer needs a wife both to bear children and to share the farm work while raising new "hands" as additional farm labor. In other societies, marriage is mainly about cementing connections between families. Indeed, most marriages between members of European royal or aristocratic lineages were primarily aimed at creating trust, loyalty, and mutual obligations between privileged and powerful families. What is the main idea in this paragraph?
A. True love is a sound basis for marriage.
B. Different societies have different ideas about the purpose of marriage.
C. Marriage is usually a family affair.
D. Arranged marriages are more practical than those based on romantic love.

In Emily Dickinson's poem "324" ("Some keep the Sabbath going to Church"),
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The speaker prefers to celebrate the sabbath/ have church in the privacy of their own home.

Explanation: Throughout the poem, Dickinson talks about how the speaker worships in her own way. In stanza two, I believe, the speaker talks about how she doesn't need fancy clothes or anything, just her own 'wings'. She prefer stay at home, and worship God at her own pace, however he calls to her. She doesn't see the use in sitting through 'long sermons'.
