1. PART A: Which statement best expresses the theme of the text?
9966 [12]

Answer (Part A)

The Correct answer for Part A is  C)

The Phoenix, according to The Phoenix Bird (A Short Story by Hans Christian Anderson 1850), only exerts its influence on those select few who are deemed worthy.

     

Answer (Part B)

The correct option here is C)

Culled from paragraph 3, it corroborates the position of the answer in part A which states that the Phoenix only visits the worthy.

Still, in Paragraph 3, we see that the Phoenix also reveals itself to the Hindoo Maid. A Hindoo refers to one who is an ardent follower of Hinduism.

Answer (Part 3)

The correct option is C)

Explantion:

Drawing from paragraph 3 and the answers already given, we see that the Phoenix's influence is felt by those who are religious. In paragraph 3, the Phoenix visits both the Pious Miner and the shows itself as a lotus leaf floating down the sacred waters of the Ganges in revelation to the Hindoo maid.

Answer (Part 4)

Metaphors give life to words in a very unique way. They help the readers experience the words and it's meaning emotionally.

Poetry is born from knowledge. According to the story, the phoenix was also born under the Tree of Knowledge. The writer in his genius uses poetry as a metaphor to describe the beauty of the Phoenix, and its origins in such a way that only a metaphor can communicate.

Cheers!
