English

Answer:

Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,

Explanation:

In poetry, the term enjambment refers to the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line. In other words, the sentence doesn't end at the end of the verse but rather continues in the next one.

In this example, we see that in line number 2 "And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk" the sentence continues in line number 3 (as the complete sentence would be "and climb black branches up a snow-white trunk towards heaven")

Therefore, we can see that the enjambment is present in line number 3 "Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more"

We can see that lines 4 to 6 (the other answer choices) are complete sentences by themselves so therefore, the correct answer is line number 3.

Read the excerpt below from act 3.2 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and answer the question that follows. ANTONY: But Brutus say
Oxana [17]

The correct answer is, "Mark Antony repeats that line to discredit Brutus by giving examples that prove that Caesar was not ambitious."

Anthony uses irony to point out that Caesar was not ambitious, despite Brutus saying he was. To better explain the excerpt, I summarized it in three parts:

  • Anthony states, "Brutus says Caesar was ambitious."
  • Anthony states that Brutus is an honorable man.
  • Anthony states reasons why Caesar was not ambitious, which contradicts the two previous statements.
