The answer is A. The poem has a dark and somewhat pessimistic feel, saying that only the bad of heart have ambition and the good of mind and heart lack the passion and ambition. As well as the phrase "innocence drowned" this shows a more morbid tone.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: Third option: Mixing as many forms of words and word endings as possible.

Explanation:

The question asks us about what is NOT a feature of parallel structures.

Parallel structures ARE used to create consistency in a series of words and phrases. They ARE used to express more than just one idea in a single sentence. They MAKE thoughts more interesting and easy to understand. What parallel structures do NOT do is mix as many forms of words and word endings as possible.

Parallelism consists of the repetition of a certain grammatical structure inside a sentence. The purpose of such repetition is to avoid confusion, making the speech clear, interesting, and easy to be understood. Let's compare the following examples:

1. I love watching TV, video games, and to read magazines.

2. I love watching TV, playing video games, and reading magazines.

The first structure does no present parallelism. Instead, the words completing the meaning of the verb "love " are a mix of grammatical forms. Even though this structure is understandable, it demands more from the reader/listener, since there is no pattern to make it easier to understand the meaning.

The second structure is a parallel one, and the words present similar grammatical forms (verb+ing). A pattern is created, making it simpler and more consistent.

Answer:

The author's intent is to inform the reader.

Explanation:

The author hopes to inform the reader of the consequences of poaching and to discourage them from taking large prey (you'll end up in jail for 3 months) or to harm a gameskeeper (charged with assult and possibly death).

So know the risks and 'be careful'.
