Answer 1

Answer:

A. "The border is a beautiful piece of paper folded carelessly in half." (Line 2)

Explanation:

The poem "The Border: A Double Sonnet" by Alberto Ríos is an insightful poem about how borders create division and separate people. This powerful poem, especially relating to the US-Mexico border, presents an image of what life is like for the people on both sides of the 'imaginary line"'

The Part A of the commonlit text of the poem asks the main theme of the poem, which is that borders were a result of the hands of powerful people who "divided up the world in ways that are not fair". Then, Part B of the question asks the supporting statement for Part A, which can be seen in the line "The border is a beautiful piece of paper folded carelessly in half."

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
