Stanza 1
The poet begins by saying, “Nothing” and adds that he has missed nothing as they (teacher and students) realized that he (the absentee) was not there and hence they were sitting quietly for two hours. with their hands on the desks. It is a kind of sarcastic answer.
Stanza 2
In the next stanza, the teacher’s anger comes out. He tells the absentee that he taught the lessons which covered 40% of the term syllabus and also assigned the students a quiz which is worth 50% of the term paper’s marks.
Stanza 3
The tone again shifts to sarcasm. According to the teacher, he (student) missed nothing as the course has no values or meaning. So he should remain absent as all the activities that take place in the class have no purpose for himself as well as for the absentee.
Stanza 4
In the 4th stanza, the poet says that shortly after he began teaching an angel just appeared that told about the ways to attain wisdom for the life and also that this is the last class after which they will have to spread the good news to the world.This stanza is a satire on the religious faiths like Christian and Jewish religious practices and beliefs. It was believed that angels descend from the sky to impart knowledge to the clergy who afterwards spread that message (good news) to the commoners.
Stanza 5
The tone again reverts to sarcastic. the teacher asks the student how anything can happen in the class without him (student) being present there.
Stanza 6
In the final stanza, the teacher says that the classroom is a world full of human experiences which were assembled for him (student) to grab, examine and understand. It was an opportunity which he has lost now.

I believe the answer is A. Both are complete sentences.
The correct answer is D) After the big game, my family wanted to celebrate. To understand why it's important to know that an adverbial phrase is when the adverb is used to describe <u>when, where, how, how often or how long</u> something happens. In this case, we have an adverbial phrase of time because it states when something happens: "<em>After the big game</em>" this part help us to understand when the action happens , also the reason behind why they wanted to celebrate and at the end, it adds more detail to the sentence "<em>My family wanted to celebrate</em>".
The adverb is placed at the beginning of the sentence so we can cross out the <u>option B</u> and also the <u>option C.</u> The option B is describing where the family come from and "from out of town" doesn't function here as an adverb, the function here is to describe the precedence of the family but no more details. <u>The option A</u> is incorrect because when we use "<em>entire</em>" as an adverb it only goes after a verb and in this case, we have "<em>entire family</em>" so it goes with a noun and it's not correct as an adverbial phrase.
