Answer: The answer is stark.

Explanation:

    This excerpt is the final stanza of a poem called <em>Spring and All</em> written by William Carlos Williams. In general terms, in the poem there's a description of very gloomy and somber scenery on a winter day. However, towards the end of the fourth stanza, there is a change: Spring slowly makes its way. What the person describes is a desolate landscape but he is beginning to notice some hints of springtime. This turn from winter to spring does't happen immediately and this is where the answer to this question comes.

     According to the Longman Dictionary, <u>stark</u> means "very plain in appearance, with little or no colour or decoration." This word in this last stanza of the poem has a negative connotation. It makes reference to the dying plants and their remains, a dull lifeless scenery in winter. The rest of the excerpt carries a positive connotation. Although there's no sudden growth of plants, there will be a slow transformation, where roots will be strong enough to awaken.

Stark

This word has the most negative connotation because stark means "severe or bare in appearance or outline" meaning it has a ghastly appearance.

Answer :-

Rome , The Capital Of Italy , is A Bustling Cosmopolitan City With Nearly 3,000 Years Of Influential Art, Distinguishable Architecture , And Captivating Culture. Ancient Rome Spanned Three Continents; Europe , Africa , And Asia. With Beginnings As A Tribe in Central Italy And Evolving into A Republic (Ruled By An Oligarchy) And Later An Empire (Ruled By A “Temporary” Dictator Or A Emperor) , They Developed The Characteristics Of A Thriving Civilization. The Romans Prized Societal Order Or A Hierarchal System - The Senate , Citizens , Slaves. The Ancient Civilization Modeled Their Religious And Intellectual Beliefs (Dualism) From Greece And The Persians. The Modernly Visible Ancient Ruins Like The Colosseum Or The Temple Of Jupiter Optimus Maximus Evoke The Power And Culture Of What Was Then, The Roman Empire And Its Cities. Ancient Roman Cities Were Built With Grand Public Buildings In The Center, Surrounded By Blocks Of - Homes , Coliseums , Markets , Theaters , And Municipal Water Supplies (Bath Houses). City Lifestyle, While Lively And Vibrant, Could Also Be Described As Noisy, Congested, And Quite Expensive. The Cities Were Surrounded By Walls For Protection And Geography Purposes.

How is the American Dream perceived and what is the reality?
SpyIntel [72]
The American Dream is out going and most of the time outrageous. Most of the time we dream up those amazing scenario for our future, but we forget about the reality of life. Reality has a way of turning the American Dreams into just a far thought. Reality comes with responsibility and commitment and it is hard to follow your dreams when you realize all the strings that are attached. Reality and dreams don't mix well.
