Leo is instructed how to wrap a present using the following oral instructions. Roll out the wrapping paper onto a flat surface.
Place the box on top of the paper. Cut the paper. Fold the paper around the box so that it covers the entire surface. Using 1-inch sections of tape, tape the wrapping paper to the box. If desired, tape a bow to the top of the present. Leo follows the instructions, but the wrapping paper does not fit around the entire box. How might you revise step 3 to solve this problem? Use scissors to cut the paper. Be careful while cutting the paper. Cut the paper to match the size of the box. Make sure the paper is print side down when cutting it.
The correct alternative is "B. The separate stanzas force readers to stop and read each word carefully, which reflects the theme that all elements must be considered individually to appreciate their true value."
This choice turns this considerably simple poem into a more meaningful and turn the words into well-expressed feelings.
