Which TWO sentences in this excerpt from "The New Name" by G.K. Chesterton indicate that the writer is addressing a large audien

ce?
Something has come into our community, which is strong enough to save our community; but which has not yet got a name. Let no one fancy I confess any unreality when I confess the namelessness. The morality called Puritanism, the tendency called Liberalism, the reaction called Tory Democracy, had not only long been powerful, but had practically done most of their work, before these actual names were attached to them. Nevertheless, I think it would be a good thing to have some portable and practicable way of referring to those who think as we do in our main concern. Which is, that men in England are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by brutes who refuse them bread, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern, and therefore wish to enslave. Let me explain first why I am not satisfied with the word commonly used, which I have often used myself; and which, in some contexts, is quite the right word to use. I mean the word "rebel." Passing over the fact that many who understand the justice of our cause (as a great many at the Universities) would still use the word "rebel" in its old and strict sense as meaning only a disturber of just rule. I pass to a much more practical point. The word "rebel" understates our cause. It is much too mild; it lets our enemies off much too easily. There is a tradition in all western life and letters of Prometheus defying the stars, of man at war with the Universe, and dreaming what nature had never dared to dream. All this is valuable in its place and proportion. But it has nothing whatever to do with our ease; or rather it very much weakens it. The plutocrats will be only too pleased if we profess to preach a new morality; for they know jolly well that they have broken the old one. They will be only too pleased to be able to say that we, by our own confession, are merely restless and negative; that we are only what we call rebels and they call cranks. But it is not true; and we must not concede it to them for a moment. The model millionaire is more of a crank than the Socialists; just as Nero was more of a crank than the Christians. And avarice has gone mad in the governing class to-day, just as lust went mad in the circle of Nero. By all the working and orthodox standards of sanity, capitalism is insane. I should not say to Mr. Rockefeller "I am a rebel." I should say "I am a respectable man: and you are not."

1. Something has come into our community, which is strong enough to save our community; but which has not yet got a name.

2. Which is, that men in England are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by brutes who refuse them bread, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern, and therefore wish to enslave.

3.Let me explain first why I am not satisfied with the word commonly used, which I have often used myself; and which, in some contexts, is quite the right word to use.

4. But it is not true; and we must not concede it to them for a moment.

5. I should not say to Mr. Rockefeller "I am a rebel." I should say "I am a respectable man: and you are not."

"Rose Pogonias" is a poem by American writer Robert Frost and its essence is the description of a sanctuary onto which the speaker stumbles and which leaves him/her and a companion in awe. However, they are also overcome by the different senses that are stimulated by the different characteristics of the place.

1. The correct answer here is C: Personification  because the line speaks of breath and this is a human activity, which is the main characteristic of this literary device: to add humanity to objects through human descriptions or actions.

2. The answer to this question is C: The air was filled with the intense scent of many flowers. This is because the speaker talks about how intense the smell is, almost cloying, but still he is called to the place and although overcome, he does not leave or reject it.

3. A metaphor is a literary device that is used to convey meaning through an image that may be familiar to the reader. In this case, the metaphor is found in : A: lines 1 and 2 because the poem refers to the meadow and compares it to a jewel, which immediately allows the reader to picture the size and characteristic of the meadow through the image of the object.

4. The correct answe here is D: The flower patch is round and compact. This is because of the use of the idea of the sun, when it shines through something rounded, or ovalled, that it forms a circle and the jewel is also somethins small, so the author is speaking about size and shape.

5. The sense to which the poet applies in these lines is: B: Sight, because all the description that the speaker makes make reference to what can be seen, like the shape and the surrouding trees.

6. The mood created by the imagery is: C: mellow. It establishes a sense of peacefulness and awe at the beauty of the place.

7. The correct answer here would be D: It was not windy there but there was a strong pleasant odor of flowers and bent over in the hot sun. This answer is the one that summarizes the idea and the events that take place in the poem.

8. The rhyming words are: B: two, because there sound, when spoken, have the same sound and same cadence: these are sweet and heat, two words that end on the same vowel and consonant sound.

9. Context clues are the hints given by writers to comprehend a specific and harder-to-understand words. In this case, the word in Scatters. Given the clues left in the text, we can conclude that this word has a synonym which is: C: Sprinkled.
