Well I can answer what the word beast suggests about the text.
I think it is suggests that they don't know much about the people of Mars, the life forms that lived there so they are frightened of them. They know that they are intelligent, or were, but also acknowledge how the planet is nearly impossible to sustain life with all of its water frozen.
Hope that helped, I don't know much about English class in highschool yet so I wasn't sure exactly how to answer the question.
Answer:
B. The speaker is admiring nature.
Explanation:
Nikki Grimes's poem "First Night" is a short poem of 18 lines separated in three stanzas. In the poem, the speaker talks of the beauty of the night sky and addressed another person named<em> "Zuri"</em>.
The speaker was camping out at her aunt's backyard, narrating the poem as a letter to <em>"Zuri"</em>. Line 5 and 6 says<em> "Sleeping was hard with all the sparkling beauty hanging overhead"</em>. Further lines reveal<em> "Night-lights", "cluster of fireflies", </em>and<em> "the sky"</em>, all a wondrous sight for the speaker. The beautiful nature, the night sky, and its beauty made sleeping difficult for the speaker.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
