Answer:

It uses archaic phrasing such as Grieve not so, indicating the poem is set long ago.

Explanation:

The main reason why we can conclude that the poem describes an event that happened a long time ago is because of the archaic language that the daughter uses to address her mother. The way in which the daughter talks is very different from the way most people nowadays talk. On the other hand, the fact that the daughter consoles the mother, that she is described as "just-grown" and that the little sisters are speechless could happen during any time period.

Answer:

The language in Stanza 9 evokes a sense of the time in which the poem is set because:

B) it uses archaic phrasing such as "Grieve not so", indicating the poem is set long ago.

Explanation:

The English language has undergone a fast evolution. The structure in use nowadays seems to us much simpler than the one used in archaic English. That is, not only we use more modern words, but the way we arrange them in a sentence is also quite different from what used to be. When we analyze the excerpt of the poem provided in the question, we quickly recognize an archaic structure in the sentence "Grieve not so". As we know, in modern English, the imperative mood employs the auxiliary "don't" when expressing a negative order or request. A young girl who speaks modern English would say, "Don't be sad" instead of "Grieve not so". Notice, as well, that the word "grieve" is not commonly used in informal interactions in modern English. Therefore, we can safely answer letter B) it uses archaic phrasing such as "Grieve not so", indicating the poem is set long ago.

Well, this is not true, but the opposite is also not true. 

<span>Structural linguists look for structure in language, so they would look at how words are composed of phonemes and morphemes. They are mostly working on current languages, but that's because they have access to them easily. When they can, they also study how those patterns evolved historically. De Saussure, the founder of Structural Linguistics is for example and important figure in historical linguistics.</span>

Answer:

Scout's reference to the mockingbird suggests she

-understand the unfairness of the legal system.

-has developed deeper empathy.

-has come to understand that what is legal isn't necessarily what is right.

Explanation:

Harper Lee's most famous novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" revolves around the lives of the Finches in Maycomb, ALabama. The racist attitude that still seems to persist among the people became one of the main themes of the story.

The character of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch is the little daughter of the lawyer Atticus Finch. She also is the main voice from which the whole narrative of the story is told. Scout referenced the "mockingbird" in chapter 10 when she asked Miss Maudie why they shouldn't shoot mockingbirds. She then told them that mockingbirds do nothing except make music for the enjoyment of the humans. It can be a representation of innocence in itself and so, to kill a mockingbird is to kill innocence.

Then again, Scout used another reference of the mockingbird in chapter 30 for Boo Radley when he was accused of killing Mr. Ewell. When Atticus wanted to claim that Jem did it in self-defense, Heck's opinion was that Mr. Ewell killed himself. This was supported by Scout, who states that letting Boo or Jem be convicted will be like killing a mockingbird.

Thus, Scout's reference to the mockingbird suggests she

understand the unfairness of the legal system.

has developed deeper empathy.

has come to understand that what is legal isn't necessarily what is right.
