The answer is: “These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:”

Metonymy occurs when an idea is referred to by the name of something closely associated with it.

In the poem "I Knew a Woman," the author Theodore Roethke directs attention to his lover and is determined to give in anything for her. In that respect, he makes use of the phrase "old bones" to mean that his own body will live for her naughty behavior.

What inference does the text best support?
Savatey [412]

Helmer's self esteem depends on the people believe that he is not influenced by his wife.

Explanation:

He says to his wife that he will not listen to her decisions as he doesn't want people to think that he is under his wife's influence. He says it will be hard for him to deal with people in his office if they get to know that he let's his wife take decisions.

He wants to show other that he has the authority. This is the good example of male chauvinism in the society and how women are not taken seriously in any aspect.

What text feature does the passage include? Which statement best explains the function of this text feature?.
Mila [183]

The text feature that is presented is the text component, which is outside the main structure of the text.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • A text feature is an element added to a text to extend the understanding of the text when reading.
  • This element is placed outside the structure/body of the text and is presented as an attachment, an addition that despite belonging to the text is separate from it.

Some examples of text features are illustrations, photographs, graphics, headers, attachments, glossary, diagram, captions, bold words, among others.

Your question is incomplete as you have not shown the text it refers to. This makes it impossible for me to provide an accurate answer, but I hope the above information will help you.

What is the author’s purpose in using a mirror as a symbol??
Alik [6]
Author's purpose for using a mirror varies. For example Laurie Halse Anderson, in her book Speak, uses the mirror as a symbol, to show Melinda's frustrations towards herself, such as appearance.
Seeing that Melinda was rap ed, she after avoids the mirror at all times. This can be interpreted as her inability to face her feelings. She also states "she can't see herself", and that shows us that her sense of identity has been altered by the rap e.
It's safe to say that a mirror can be a symbol of physical and spiritual reflection. Hope this helps.
