"Sonnet XXXI"

English
1 answer:
devlian [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. line 4 <em>That busy archer his sharp arrows tries?</em>

Explanation:

In Sonnet XXX or Sonnet 31, Philip Sydney (1554 – 1586) comments on the pale and sad appearance of moon, and he wonders why it is so. He asks the sun in line 4 whether there is also love which makes him pale and sad. He asks this by alluding to Cupid (the Roman god of love). Cupid is often portrayed with a bow and an arrow, and whoever is shot by that arrow falls in love. So, whoever falls in love is figuratively said to have been shot by Cupid's arrow.

The line 4 alludes to Cupid by calling him "that busy archer". Apart from this mythical allusion there is no allusion in this sonnet.

In Angela’s ashes which sentence in the excerpts does the author most likely use to express humor
ss7ja [257]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

In Angela’s Ashes, which sentence in the excerpt does the author most likely use to express humor? Question options:

a) “‘Do you want to know why I’m in the Fever Hospital?’”

b) “‘Especially you, Francis, after thousands of boys prayed for you at the Confraternity.’”

c) “Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa.”

d) “She tells me I better not get the notion she’ll be running up to this part of the world every time I have a little pain or a twinge.”

Answer:

I believe the best option to be letter c) “Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa.”

Explanation:

Irish author Frank McCourt has filled his memoir "Angela's Ashes" with humor and anecdotes of his childhood. In chapter VIII, Frank is hospitalized.  He is constantly trying to communicate with Patricia, another hospitalized kid who has books with poems that delight Frank. When he is about to find out what happened to the Highwayman and his lover, the nurse comes in and yells, "I told ye there was to be no talking between rooms. <u>Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa." This line is quite humorous for the way it addresses people and diseases. It's as if Frank and Patricia are no longer people, as if they have become the diseases they have. However, diseases don't talk; it is the sick people who do.</u>

Answer: One animal is from a dry place, while the other is from a very <em>moist</em> place. If they switched places, they wouldn't have the resources they need.
