Read "The Second Coming" and answer the question. The Second Coming by W. B. Yeats Turning and turning in the widening gyre The

falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, 5 The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; 10 Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, 15 A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again, but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep 20 Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? What is the central theme of the second stanza? A) People fear what they do not understand. B) Society has created many of its own problems. C) The approaching beast is an all-powerful entity. D) Looming disasters are seldom preventable.

Answer:

D) Looming disasters are seldom preventable.

Explanation:

The second verse shows how the beast is determined to reach its destination and no matter how far or how slow the beast is, nothing will stop it from reaching the narrator. The beast is relentless and sooner or later it will reach the narrator, no matter what and what I do. In this case, we can say that the stanza uses the theme "Looming disasters are seldom preventable".

The inference is that the second stanza of the poem B. describes how the boy has changed

<h3>What is an inference?</h3>

It should be noted that an inference is the conclusion that can be deduced based on the information that given in the literary work.

The main purpose of the stanza is to show how the boy has changed. The narrator describes his memories as a boy when he used to go to the swimming hole. He has beautiful memories, and it makes him happy to remember them. However, he then says that time has taken its toll and that a boy is now an old man. The stanza, therefore, describes how the passage of time has changed the boy.

Therefore, based on the information, the inference is that the second stanza of the poem describes how the boy has changed.

Why are the elements of an autobiographical narrative similar to those of a short story?
Alenkinab [10]
I believe the correct answer is <span>B. Because most writing forms include narratives.

The first and last options aren't correct because an autobiographical narrative depicts real events from the writer's life, whereas a short story is fictional, which means the events and characters aren't real (and it doesn't have to be written in the 1st person).

The third option can be correct, but not in every case. Some of the best short stories don't include causes and effects. Actually, the causal relations are often concealed, and require a specific interpretation to explain them.

However, there is a narrative in both these forms. It means that they have a plot - introduction, climax, resolution (although they don't need to happen in a chronological order).</span>
