Answer:
B. wine
Explanation:
Romantics had a preoccupation with the escape from reality and find solace in nature. Keats too had an obsession with the theme of nature but <em>in this excerpt "Ode to Nightingale", he generates a combination of cheerful and gruesome thoughts by listening to the singing of the nightingale. He discusses the conflicting nature of human life. Thus, </em><u><em>he aspires to have a bottle of wine to get drunk and escape from the reality that exemplifies the fear of death. He wanted to move away from the sufferings of life like growing old and dying. </em></u>However, he wishes to liberate from reality(through wine) yet he returns to the bird(nature) in the preceding lines to find solace in.
You can use the clues "It only gets worse" and "the purpose of holidays" to infer the definition of the word.
Also, the prefix "de" means "do the opposite of", and "construct" means, to put something together, or build it up.
So you can infer that "deconstruct" means to take apart or break.
Hope this wasn't too confusing, comment the correct answer.
Hey there!
The poem version of "paragraphs" are stanzas. For example, if this were my poem:
My car is very shiny (first stanza)
I drive it every day (second stanza)
If it gets hurt (third stanza)
I will throw it away (fourth stanza)
It's almost like an essay composed of paragraphs, but a poem is much shorter and it's, therefore, a poem composed of stanzas.
Hope this helps!
