Answer:
This is a line from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Wok Without Hope" which talks about the uselessness of any work that is done without hope.
Explanation:
In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Work Without Hope", he emphasizes on the importance of hope and aim in a person's life. Coleridge seems to be talking about the common nature of man and the necessity of having an aim or objective so as to achieve a goal, for, without hope, all efforts are futile and unnecessary.
In the non-traditional sonnet, the poet presents his case by metaphorically stating that<u> "work without hope draws nectar in a sieve"</u>. This is to say that any work without hope is like collecting nectar in a sieve. It merely runs or flows through, with no accumulation of a safety space. But if a person has hope in his life and works with that, then whatever is achieved has a greater meaning and purpose. Without hope, there is no purpose in a work being done, nor is there any result to be elated for.
I have found the excerpt and the choices from another source. I will paste them below:
<span>They laughed at his wild excess of speech, of feeling, and of gesture. They were silent before the maniac fury of his sprees, which occurred almost punctually every two months, and lasted two or three days. They picked him foul and witless from the cobbles, and brought him home . . . . And always they handled him with tender care, feeling something strange and proud and glorious lost in [him]. . . . He was a stranger to them: no one—not even Eliza—ever called him by his first name. He was—and remained thereafter—"Mister" Gant. . . .
</span>A. They spread gossip about his unusual conduct.
B. They consider him a talented man and good friend.
C. They think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.
D. They worry about his excessive behaviors.
The excerpt would tell us that Oliver's neighbors (C) think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.
We know that the neighbors think Oliver is peculiar or strange through the first half of the excerpt and from the line "he was a stranger to them". Despite this strangeness though, we can also infer that the neighbors revere or deeply respect him because they still "handled him with tender care".
Focus on looking back over your arguments frequently. Keep yourself on track for the point that you're trying to create by staying both true and relevant to the topic at hand. Also, provide good support for your argument. Avoid making assumptions. Lastly, compare your argument to the list of all fallacies. Does your piece fall under any of those at any time? If so, you then know what to fix. Hope this helps.
