C. The speaker compares the broken fishing lines to “medals” to show that the fish’s survival is a triumph.  

When you analyze a poem, there are many things into which you will want to take into consideration—tone, imagery, word choice, etc.  When looking at word choice, you’ll want to take be aware of a word’s denotation as well as connotation.  The denotation is what the word literally means.  The connotation is what the word draws out of the reader by manner of symbolism.  When we think of a “medals,” we think of awards at the end of a contest (think gold, silver, and bronze medals from the Olympics).  Thus, “medals” here means a victory that the fish has earned as it has triumphed over the fisherman.

Valentin [98]

Answer:C. The visitor left his stick behind.

Explanation:

Your question is referring to the excerpt from ''The Hound of the Baskervilles''  by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in which Sherlock is describing his visitor at the beginning of the first chapter.

''Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he stayed up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before.''

After that, Sherlock picks up the stick and read what is written on it and then he is asking Watson about his opinion on it.

He was considered as the absent-minded because he left something with his name and evidence that is showing that he was there. If he was aware, he would not do that. In that way, Sherlock got all information about him.

A central idea of "Stopping by Woods on Snowy Evening" is that the speaker wants to admire the beauty of nature in the woods.
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The speaker stops to see the snowfall in the woods but knows his responsibilities won't allow him to stay long.

Explanation:

The poem "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost is a poem where the speaker is in a dilemma between his duty and what he wants to do. Stuck between admiring the snowy woods and his duty living in society places him in a contrasting position.

While the central idea of the poem is that the speaker wants to admire the beauty of nature, he also acknowledges that it is <em>"queer"</em> even for his horse to stop in the middle of the woods. But as a man living in a society, he <em>"ha[s] promises to keep, and miles before [I] sleep"</em>.

And through the presentation of how the speaker stops and admires the snowfall in the woods, he also knows that his responsibilities won't allow him to have this enjoyment/ leisure for a longer duration.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
