Answer: The shore's a backdrop for my lonely day.
Explanation:
This quatrain's rhyme scheme is such that a line must rhyme with the line that follows after the next line. This is why lines 1 and 3 rhyme by ending with the words: "alone" and "flown".
We need to pick an option therefore, that has a last word that can rhyme with the word "stay" in line 2. That option is the one above which has "day" at it's end. "Day" and "stay" rhyme so this is the correct answer.
Answer:
A. But do not be surprised if it is not.
Explanation:
The author in the sentence quoted is saying that if women cannot afford the time to put their ideas to paper, then at least the ideas expressed in their conversation should improve.
I don't think it is a question of work and play. It's sort of a silly phrase, but I realize you are stuck with it.
I think A is your best answer, and I cannot think of any kind of alternative from the other 3 that are satisfactory. The problem is that there is compensation for having little time but being able to think: the time spent contemplating will show up in conversation.
<h3>Godfrey, having returned from his walk, tells Nancy some truly shocking news: Dunstan's remains have been found at the bottom of the drained stone-pits. With Dunstan's body, Marner's gold has been recovered. Godfrey also makes another painful revelation. He finally tells Nancy that the woman found dead in the snow outside of Marner's cottage sixteen years before was his own wife, and that Eppie is his biological child.
</h3><h3>
</h3><h3>Nancy hears this news with surprising calmness. She tells Godfrey that if he had only worked up the courage to tell her this news six years ago, when he was so eager to adopt Eppie, she would have supported him wholeheartedly. Better yet, she could have married him knowing that Godfrey had a daughter, and she could have raised Eppie as her own child. Thus Godfrey finally feels the full weight of his error. In failing to trust his wife, not only did he live without Eppie, he lived without ever knowing the woman he married.</h3>
