Answer:

this is the passage

Explanation:

The “Big Dig”

The “Big Dig” (the Central Artery/Tunnel Project) has been complex and challenging. Located in Boston, Massachusetts, this tunnel is eight lanes wide and three-and-a-half miles long. What is most amazing about this tunnel is that it is constructed under a major highway and skyscrapers located in Boston’s financial district.

Construction crews used “clamshell excavators” during this dig. These machines carved narrow trenches, and then a special substance was pumped into the trench to keep the dirt from caving in. Finally, steel beams were lowered into the trench and concrete was pumped in.

One problem that engineers faced while constructing the tunnel is the fact that the soil beneath Boston is extremely loose and soggy. Engineers solved this dilemma by freezing the soil and pumping very cold water into pipes beneath the city. To strengthen the soil even further, a special type of glue was injected into the ground to help with the consolidation of the soil.

For language is arbitrarily produced by the imagination and has relation to thoughts alone; but all other materials, instruments
Ipatiy [6.2K]
The quote is incomplete. It should read: "For language is arbitrarily produced by the imagination, and has relation to thoughts alone; but all other materials, instruments and conditions of art have relations among each other which limit and interpose between conception and expression. The former is as a mirror which reflects, the later as a cloud which enfeebles the light of which both are mediums of communication. Hence the fame of sculptors, painters and musicians...has never equaled that of poets..."
A Defence of Poetry- Percy Shelley

In my view the correct answer should be B: “and has relation to thoughts alone”.

The reason being that as Shelley explains later, he considers that language has a direct, unique and exclusive relation with thoughts. Logically, thoughts are a direct product of the imagination, whether they are spontaneous or a result of external stimuli, and if according to his logic language is intimately and exclusively related to them it follows that language comes from the imagination. For Shelley as a poet, because language comes directly from imagination without the mediation or interference of any kind, poetry is the purest form of art.

Examples of emotive language used in The Speech "We shall fight on the beaches" and Is blood Toil, Tears, and Sweat in the speec
frosja888 [35]

Emotive language in the speech is rife as it is a war call.

Explanation:

Churchill was one of the finest at rhetoric in the nation of Britain when he wanted to do a rally call in terms of the speech to rally his troops for the fight in the world war.

This is the speech that was delivered and it was rather emotive in its content.

Blood Toil, Tears, and Sweat is in the speech "We shall fight on the beaches" but in a later version specifically written for the radio.

The original speech did not contain this allusion.
