The first option, "[she] just couldn't stand another minute of the incessant howling", seems to be the best one to finish the paragraph. First of all, the paragraph has very specific and powerful vocabulary like "bopping his head" and "burst". So a concluding sentence should also have strong vocabulary. In this case "howling" is a very descriptive and powerful verb. Moreover, in the paragraph, the narrator mentions that "[the] lead singer sounded as (...) a dog lost in the woods". Using the word "howling", which is something done by dogs, in the concluding sentence would be consistant with the comparison between the singer and a lost dog.
This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Read the passage from Beowulf. "They marched in step, hurrying on till the timbered hall rose before them, radiant with gold. Nobody on earth knew of another building like it. Majesty lodged there, its light shone over many lands."
Which feature of Old English poetry did this modern translation maintain?
alliteration
full lines
rhyme
short pauses
Answer: alliteration
Explanation:
Alliteration refers to the presence of the same letter or sound, at the beginning of either adjacent or words that are near to each other.
Alliteration used to be the main required structure in Old English poetry.
In this case, alliteration is used in the "till the timbered" line, because all adjacent words start with the letter 't'.
Answer: B. Locking women away behind walls, screens, or curtains robs them of their dignity.
Explanation:
The author of this poem, Sarojini Naidu (1879 - 1946), came from a culture where women were to receive a different treatment from men. Women's freedom was taken away with the excuse of protecting them from "eyes impure". If their bodies and faces, their beauty and youth cannot be seen, then they will not be coveted. However, such a way of "protecting" has its own way of harming those involved. It does not "shield a woman's eyes from tears". It does not protect their feelings, does not take their wishes into consideration. It only limits their lives, their abilities, their happiness.
disrespectfulness
In the play the word is used when Keller says, "You be quiet! I’m badgered enough here by females without your impudence." The first trick to identifying a word's definition using context clues is to decide if the word is used in a positive way or a negative way. After reading Keller's statement, we can tell he is frustrated and annoyed, so he is not going to be talking in a positive way. This eliminates the first two options immediately. Disrespectfulness is your answer.
Ambiguous.
It will be an "ambiguous" ending.
