<span>the soil 
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod. 

We need to get the line correct. And we need to go back just a little bit to get the tone. The short answer is that the first stanza of the poem ends with this line. It is a particularly difficult and subtle poem to read because most of the meaning is hidden from us.  The line that you asking about means that we are so tamed by civilization that we cannot walk in nature without shoes. We cannot feel the good earth because our feet are too frail to walk on ground.

But to get the full impact you have to go back to the end of the previous line and get it's meaning as well. "The soil is bare" means that nothing will grow on soil that has been stripped clean and all its nutrients robbed by man's interference and stupidity, and his inability to understand what he is doing to the land.

It is as though he (man) is feeding the soil with nothing but ice cream, robbing it of its ability to regenerate itself. As a result, the soil is now barren weakened by inattentiveness.

And we cannot walk in her without something between us and the soil. 

It's a sad and angry poem.  </span>

Which conjunction would be used to join these two independent clauses? Hold my hand. I’ll drown.
Aleks [24]

When you join to independent clauses with a conjunction you stablishes the equality in this clauses, however in this case you can see that the clauses have a causal relation, it could be said If you don’t hold my hand, I will drown, in this case the best conjunction to put the clauses together is “or” “Hold my hand or I will drown.”

Select the answer that properly completes the sentence.
Reika [66]
The correct answer to this problem would be the word theirs, the first one.

The usage of their/s is kind of a tricky one since it depends on what it usually is pertaining to in the previous lines. In this problem, it would refer to our presentation. If another word, let's say presentation, is added after the blank, then the answer would be their. In this case, there isn't anything after it so the answer would be theirs.

Those that have apostrophes on them aren't an option since it isn't applicable in this situation.
