Answer:

C. the chaos of a new age's beginning

Explanation:

Yeats describes in the excerpt a vision of chaotic things happening, and the world loosing control, a gyre is an upward spyral that continues to the infinity and usually falcons fly in circles only to fall again into their falconer´s hand, but this one can´t hear the falconer, so he is trapped in that spyral forever, he then sees the centre falling apart, which is a reference to the governments and centralized order, what´s next is just the chaos, of the destruction and the anarchic process of reconstruction.

Hi, trinw! 

I'll just elaborate on what Historical Fiction is.
Historical Fiction presents a story set in the past, often during a significant time period. n historical fiction, the time period is an important part of the setting and often of the story itself.

Historical fiction may include fictional characters, well-known historical figures or a mixture of the two. Authors of historical fiction usually pay close attention to the details of their stories (settings, clothing, dialogue, etc.) to ensure that they fit the time periods in which the narratives take place.

<span>In some historical fiction, famous events appear from points of view not recorded in history, showing historical figures dealing with actual events while depicting them in a way that is not recorded in history. Other times, the historical event or time period complements a story's narrative, forming a framework and background for the characters' lives. Sometimes, historical fiction can be for the most part true, but the names of people and places have been in some way altered.

Read the following lines from "Clearances".
aniked [119]
B) He is speaking the words loudly and with great force.

To go at something "with hammer and tongs" is to do something with great vigor and a lot of purpose. So B is the correct answer based on the phrase.

Would you like Fred and to leave for lunch now? me or myself
DedPeter [7]
The answer is me. Would you like Fred and me to leave for lunch now? Because if you were to say this without Fred you would say, "Would you like me to leave for lunch now" rather than, "Would you like myself to leave for lunch now". So your correct answer is me. Saying myself sounds awkward and is not the correct terminology for this phrase. 
I hope this helps!
