Question

Read the lines from Donne's "Sonnet 14 (Batter My Heart, Three-Person'd God)" and answer the question.

Answer 1

The two pairs of words from these lines that create a paradox that readers must solve to understand the poem's theme are:

C) enthrall, free (because enthrall means to enslave, which is the opposite of free);

and

D) chaste, ravish (because chaste means to abstain from extramarital, or from all, sexual intercourse; and ravish means to give great pleasure to someone or to force a woman to have sex against her wishes.)
