Answer:
Terrell's suggestion would be a dismal failure as would a balloon made out of lead.
Explanation:
What the statement means is that Terrell's suggestion to hold Sergeant Sheila Estrada’s welcome-home celebration at a bowling alley would be a complete failure and disaster.
When something is said to have go like a lead balloon, it means that it would be a complete failure or disaster just like a balloon made out of lead which is a heavy metal, the balloon would not be able to fly.
Is there a story or an article to go with this?
I believe that the answer would be D. All the lines seem proud to me.
Answer:
“A Red, Red Rose,” also titled in some anthologies according to its first line, “O, my luve is like a red, red rose,” was written in 1794 and printed in 1796. The song may be enjoyed as a simple, unaffected effusion of sentiment, or it may be understood on a more complex level as a lover’s promises that are full of contradictions, ironies, and paradoxes. The reader should keep in mind the fact that Burns constructed the poem, stanza by stanza, by “deconstructing” old songs and ballads to use parts that he could revise and improve. For example, Burns’s first stanza may be compared with his source, “The Wanton Wife of Castle Gate”: “Her cheeks are like the roses/ That blossom fresh in June;/ O, she’s like a new-strung instrument/ That’s newly put in tune.” Clearly, Burns’s version is more delicate, while at the same time audaciously calculated. By emphasizing the absolute redness of the rose—the “red, red rose”—the poet demonstrates his seeming artlessness as a sign of sincerity. What other poet could rhyme “June” and “tune” without appearing hackneyed? With Burns, the very simplicity of the language works toward an effect of absolute purity.
