Answer:

The correct answer is option D) show that nature can be harsh and unfeeling.

Explanation:

At the end of the fourth stanza of the poem <em>Sea Lullaby</em> written by <em>Elinor Wylie</em>, the phrase "for a joke" refers to the fact that nature has no regrets for that murdered child. As if it were a joke for her. <em>"She choked him and beat him to death, for a joke." </em>

The sea, in all its greatness dragged him and hit him with its waves.

Another form of insensitivity is when the author says <em>"Now in silence she lingers, Beside him all night, To wash her long fingers, In silvery light.”. </em>

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 1, scene 2.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

I believe that the correct answer is the third one: <em>arrogance</em>. The phrase <em>growing feathers</em> represents arrogant tone in the speaker.

Explanation:

When reading that particular line: "<em>These growing feathers plucked from Caesar's wing / Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,</em>" we can feel the arrogance in the tone of the speaker. Specially, when reading the word <em>plucked</em>, like the feathers were stolen from Caesar, like he feels proud of it. It represents an arrogant tone in FLAVIUS.
