Answer B: the speaker feels joy at the winner's heaven-sent glory.

 This lyric ode begins by describing the features of the normal, natural man: mere creatures whose time is limited and whose existence is a dream of a shadow. <em>Then starts a big contrast</em>: <em>But</em>. Now the writer is <em>very happy</em> <em>to tell that there is a power </em><em>sent from above,</em><em> which makes man </em><em>blessed and shine with glory.</em>

What is the effect of the choice by Orson Welles (author of the radio play) not to include much detail about the "cylinder"?
Nonamiya [84]
By not providing a great deal of detail about the "cylinder" in his radio production of War of the Worlds Welles helped to keep the origin of the alien invaders a mystery.  Welles probably chose to do such in order to keep the audience in suspense and to help convince them that the invasion is actually happening.

What techniques does Pope use to weave humor into the poem The Rape of the Lock?
AVprozaik [17]
Pope used the mock-epic genre to weave humor into the poem, The Rape of the Lock.

<span>The mock-epic genre resembles the epic in that its central concerns are serious and often moral, but deviates from the epic in the fact that the approach must now be satirical rather than earnest is symptomatic of how far the culture has fallen.
</span>
The verse form of the poem is the heroic couplet. It is composed of <span>rhymed pairs of iambic pentameter lines -- lines of ten syllables each, alternating stressed and unstressed syllables.</span>
