"A Valentine" by Edgar Allan Poe For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes, Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda, Sha

ll find her own sweet name, that nestling lies Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader. Search narrowly the lines!—they hold a treasure Divine—a talisman—an amulet That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure— The words—the syllables! Do not forget The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor And yet there is in this no Gordian knot Which one might not undo without a sabre, If one could merely comprehend the plot. Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing Of poets, by poets—as the name is a poet's, too, Its letters, although naturally lying Like the knight Pinto—Mendez Ferdinando— Still form a synonym for Truth—Cease trying! You will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do. What does the phrase search narrowly, used in line 5, mean? To look scarcely To look closely To look with decreasing attention To look with increasing attention

Answer:

To look closely

Explanation:

The 5th line is: "Search narrowly the lines!—they hold a treasure"

Narrow means limited or restricted. As an adverb, though, Narrowly means "with close adherence, by a narrow margin, closely". It means that when you're narrowly searching, you're doing a very close search.

The phrase to look closely is the correct choice. If  you add the words look closely into the line, it reads Look closely at the lines, making it correct.

The correct answer is B. Sentence.

This sentence is complete with a subject, a verb, and even has a direct object. The subject is “we,” the verb, “parked,” and the direct object is identified by asking “we parked what?”
“Our bicycles” or bicycles” is the direct object, or what is receiving the action being performed by the subject.

Which of these sentences, taken from a personal narrative about Christopher Columbus, MOST needs to be revised to make it more f
klemol [59]

Answer:

D) Most people figured that Columbus discovered America, made friends with the Indians, and then told everyone else about this land.

Explanation:

Revision of any text or passage is need for a number of reasons, ranging from a simple grammar mistake to making the paper more precise, focused, structured, etc. The revision also allows for improved analytical skills, challenging one's own ideas, more strengthened argument, etc.

Among the given sentences, the one that needs to be revised is sentence D. Looking at the words used in this particular sentence, it is evident that the words are too informal, be it using<em> "most people figured", "made friends", or "told everyone else"</em>. They make the sentence too simple, too friendly, something one does with a close friend or relative. If these words are revised with words like 'most people believed', 'formed close relationship/ befriended', or 'revealed to everyone', then that makes the sentence seem more formal.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
