Question

1.Read these lines from the poem.

Answer 1

Answer 1: B. They reveal that the speaker enters relationships for her own amusement.

In a small extract like this, words like "alone" and "bore away" are crucial. The author here is describing that they took the "glory and the spoil" by bearing away (removing themselves from a certain place, environment, or mental or emotional state) and laughing, suggesting a careless person who gets through life by not taking things too seriously. This does not allude to someone of a generous nature (A), someone who takes things (a relationship) seriously (C) or reinforces the idea that the speaker is intentionally cruel (D). The lines however do reveal that the spearker enters a relationship for her own amusement (B), as we know that this careless person likes to be amused (laugh) and tends to be careless, especially with other people's feelings. Therefore, B is the answer.

Answer 2: A. Damon is placed into prison to await Pythias’s return.
