The connotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt is something powerful and threatening.

A fault line is a break in the Earth's surface. It is mainly used to talk about a crack that occurs when the Earth's tectonic plates move or shift. In this excerpt in particular, <u>"fault line" has been used in a metaphorical way to refer to the power that world wars have to create a fracture between nations and the power they have to bring destruction.</u> In that way, "fault lines" has a negative connotative meaning in this excerpt, which means that unpleasant emotions are associated to that word. Moreover, wars are also conceived as something negative in these lines.

Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130.”
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Like everyone, she walks on the ground.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130", he praises his mistress and makes her seem larger than life with his descriptions and allusions. He seems enamoured to her and treats her almost like a rare piece of art.

In line 12 however, he talks about his mistress treading on the ground when she walks and the best paraphrase for that is like everyone, she walks on the ground.
