<h3>Answer 1: </h3><h2>(D) The Christian notion of an apocalypse that involves the return of a messiah or savior </h2>

"The Second Coming" is a poem composed by Irish poet W. B. Yeats in 1919, first printed in The Dial in November 1920, and later included in his 1921 compilation of verses Michael Robartes and the Dancer. The poem was composed in the outcome of the First World War and the start of the Irish War of Independence that followed the Easter Rising.


<h3>Answer 2: </h3><h2>(C) A Sphinx  </h2>

A sphinx is a mythological creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion. In Greek culture, it has the head of a human, the sides of a lion, and sometimes the wings of a bird. It is mythical as dangerous and ruthless.


<h3>Answer 3: </h3><h2>(C) Pessimistic view of the future </h2>

Pessimism is a rational attitude in which an unacceptable outcome is expected from a given condition. Pessimists tend to concentrate on the negatives of life in general. The most common illustration of this phenomenon is the "Is the glass half empty or half full?" state; in this situation, a pessimist is said to view the glass as half empty, while an optimist is said to view the glass as half full.

<h3>Answer 4: </h3><h2>(B) A personal desire for adventure </h2>

Yeats was strongly associated in politics in Ireland, and in the twenties, despite Irish independence from England, his poetry exhibited a pessimism regarding the political status in his country and the rest of Europe, corresponding the expanding conservativism of his American counterparts in London, T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound .


<h3>Answer 5:  </h3><h2>(D) Waste of breath  </h2>

This poem exposes Yeast's relentlessly fanatic representation of warfare in general and especially in World war 1. At the end of the poem, he reached a conclusion based on the fair assessment on what sort of life the future held for him which, looked a "waste of breath", and the life he left behind, which he also describes as a "waste"

<h3>Answer 6: </h3><h2>(A) Night or day </h2>

"Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" is composed in a very particular form, the villanelle. Villanelles have nineteen lines split into five three-line stanzas and the sixth stanza including four lines. The rhymes scheme is ABA ABA ABA ABA ABA ABAA, so there are just two rhymes (day & night) that complete all the lines.

<h3>Answer 7: </h3><h2>(B) Death and life </h2>

Night describes death whereas day symbolizes life. The poem is composed because of Dylan's (author) father have been dying and he wants his father to fight for his light. In the poem, different forms of light are discussed and all of them tend to portray a strength and reasons for living.

<h3>Answer 8: </h3><h2>(B) Their frail deeds </h2>

The excellent way to understand how all those poetic forms work together is to untangle Thomas's sentences, which are all wrapped up so that they match the meter and form of the villanelle. The essential parts of this sentence are the subject, "Good men" (line 7), and the verb, "Rage" (line 9). In the author's view true morality consists of defeating the inevitability of death with all your might.


<h3>Answer 9:</h3><h2>(C) Solemn and close to death </h2>

The speaker explains the way that "Grave men" struggle their approaching death. Regard the pun on "grave," which could either indicate that the men are very serious, or that they are dying. These serious dying guys understand that, even though they are sick and dropping their faculty of sight, they can, however, practice what strength they have to rage against death.


<h3>Answer 10:</h3><h2>(C) His father</h2>

Dylan Thomas wrote this poem to dedicate it to his father and in the entire poem he has discussed death and the the ways of fighting though it.  As his father was going though the same stage and he was about to die but he wanted his father to survive and rage against the death.
