Answer:

Explanation:

Barbara Frietchie went into history as the heroine of the poem by John Greenleaf Whittier.

According to the poem, Barbara (who was 90 at the time), leaned through the window, waving the Unionist flag, and shouted to the Confederate general: “‘Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, But spare your country’s flag”. The general ordered Barbara and the flag to be spared, and she went into history. Friends and niece of Barbara stated the various accounts of the event – some said that she was standing at the porch, some said that she argued with the troops, while some state the incident happened on another occasion. Whatever is the truth actually, old lady Barbara Frietchie is part of the history as the legendary courageous woman who was not afraid to speak up for her country and flag.

Answer: c. looked / was searching

Explanation:

When I first got off the plane, I looked around as if in a fog. I was searching for my classmates.

The sentence started with the past tense being used by the narrator. As such, the rest of the narration has to be in past tense as well.

With this in mind, the word looked and the phrase was searching would be the right words to use to fill in the blanks.

iragen [17]

This question is missing the necessary passage/lines to be answered. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

As every eye awaits her hand

To cue the members of the band.

Which statement best describes the meter?

A. The meter is free, imitating the flow of conversational speech.

B. The meter is free, making the poem unpredictable.

C. The meter is fixed, and every syllable is stressed.

D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.

Explanation:

As every eye awaits her hand

To cue the members of the band.

The lines above are an example of iambic tetrameter. An iamb is a sequence consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Since we have that pattern repeat 4 times in each line, they are called iambic tetrameters (tetra means 4). Since both lines have the same meter, we can say the meter is fixed. Also, since they are iambic, they end in a stressed syllable, which draws attention to the end rhyme. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.
