This is the poem down here:

The Ocean has its

silent cave,

Deep, quiet, and

alone;

Though there be

fury on the waves,

Beneath them there is none.

The awful spirits of the deep

hold their communion there;

And there are those for whom we weep,

The young, the bright, the fair.

Calmly the weary seamen rest

Beneath their own blue sea.

The ocean solitude are blest,

For there is purity.

The earth had guilt, the earth has care,

Unquiet are its graves;

But peaceful sleep is ever there,

Beneath the dark blue waves.

Answer:

Check below for the answer and explanations.

Explanation:

The speaker describes the sea as though tempestous and uncalm at the surface, is very calm and silent deep in the bottom. It is so calm that the spirits have their meetings there and even the dead are found there. "The awful spirits of the deep hold their communion there; And there are those for whom we weep, The young, the bright, the fair."

He said there is purity and blest under the sea and it provides a better resting place for the dead than the earth which is uncalm and whose graves lack peace and solitude. He said, "The earth had guilt, the earth has care,

Unquiet are its graves;

But peaceful sleep is ever there,

Beneath the dark blue waves."

The main aim of this poem is to describe the blest, solitude and peace that exist under the ocean, and its suitability for receiving the body of man after death.

What lies ahead of us and for the world after the CoronaVirus?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Corona is a pandemic disease that shocked and undermined the economic of every country in the world. It lowered the rate of population of each country in the world .Some countries will have to build alot of hospitals and buy health facilities because there was lack of hospitals and health facilities. The most damaged thinks is the economy of every country and they will have to work very hard towards that and I think Italy is one of those countries. The education system has to cover what was lost due to this period of time which will hard for the students because some countries like Kenya the students have to repeat the same class and I think human beings have learnt the need for cleanness.The training of doctors and nurses need to be high .We also need to thank alot to the health services who were there for us during this crusual time for us

nadya68 [22]

An example “A witty comment by a professional bullfighter” would be most appropriate in paraphrase.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • A paraphrase is taking an existing idea and rephrasing it in your words. Option C and D can be categorised as quoting.
  • It is if we are referring to people who have given an explanation of bullfighting in Spain.
  • Option B would be categorised as definition, thus ruling it out and leaving us with Option A as the relevant answer.
