<span>A. Poetry of Place</span>
My birthplace vanished, my citizenship earned, in league with stones of the earth, Ienter, without retreat or help from history, the days of no day, my earth of no earth, I re-enter the city in which I love you. And I never believed that the multitude of dreams and many words were vain.
D. Poetry of Family
On the days when the rest have failed you, let this much be yours— flies, dust, an unnameable odor, the two waiting baskets: one for the lemons and passion, the other for all you have lost. Both empty, it will come to your shoulder, breathe slowly against your bare arm. If you offer it hay, it will eat. Offered nothing, it will stand as long as you ask. The little bells of the bridle will hang beside you quietly, in the heat and the tree's thin shade. Do not let its sparse mane deceive you, or the way the left ear swivels into dream. This too is a gift of the gods. Calm and complete.
B. Poetry of Spirit
When the black snake flashed onto the morning road, and the truck could not swerve— death, that is how it happens. Now he lies looped and useless as an old bicycle tire. I stop the car and carry him into the bushes.

Answer: D He led readers through events in the order they really happened.
Explanation:
Use of the second person (the pronoun “you”), over the first
and third person, is a technique that an author will use in order to better
interact with readers and engage them.
When one reads the pronoun “you,” one will generally feel as if the
author or writer of a text is speaking directly to him or her. This will, most evidently, draw readers into
what they are reading because the message will seem more personal with the use
of second person than with first or third.
With that in mind, of the possible responses for this question, “A. It
pulls the reader into the text,” seems to be the most appropriate.
