Answer:
"I lived in the first century of world wars" is the opening line of "Poem" by Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) an American poet and political activist. Her best-known poems are about social justice, equality and feminism. Her choice of words establishes her anti-war theme and her efforts to oppose war through her poetry: "Slowly I would get to pen and paper, Make my poems for others unseen and unborn. In the day I would be reminded of those men and women, Brave, setting up signals across vast distances, Considering a nameless way of living, of almost unimagined values." She felt her poetry, which would outlive her, would be a message to those "unseen and unborn" who could work to promote peace and justice. "We would try by any means To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves, To let go the means, to wake." Here Rukeyser was passing on the baton, as it were, to the generations "beyond ourselves" in the hope that they would be more purposeful peacemakers.
Answer: C. The narrator discovers that the town holds an ancient curse.
Explanation:
The train had minorly derailed and the people were frantic. Voices seemed to echo through our little town. Some in concern, others in pain. With the limited first-aid that I knew, I wanted to help. It didn't take long for me to find the first injured person. It was a rather small cut on their head and they were quite accepting of treatment. I hesitantly climbed into the train after everyone had seemed to stop hustling out.
"Hello?" I called out, my eyes scanning the carriage as I checked for any remaining passengers. After a few minutes of searching, with some of my friends doing the other compartments, we concluded that everybody had gotten off.
The conductor followed me out, cursing heavily as he told me about how his schedule had been thrown off. "So had your train." I reminded him carefully, gesturing to all the people. He nodded in agreement.
C. Is the correct answer I’m very much sure about it!!!
