Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is suffici

ent unto love. When you love you should not say, ‘God is in my heart,' but rather, ‘I am in the heart of God.'5 And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.10 To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;15 To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. Which statement BEST states the theme of this poem?

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are as follows:

[...]To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Which statement BEST states the theme of this poem?

A) Anyone can fall in love.

B) Love is risky and should be avoided.

C) Love causes people to become irrational.

D) Love is the greatest of all human experiences.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter D) Love is the greatest of all human experiences.

Explanation:

Those lines were taken from the poem "On Love ", by author Kahlil Gibran. According to the speaker of the poem, love is a superb feeling, one that can melt you, that can give wings to your heart, that can bring praise to your lips. He does not talk only and necessarily about romantic love. It seems to be a more transcendental form of love, one that does not possess nor is possessed; one that places you "in the heart of God" - blissfully and selflessly. It is plain to see that the speaker thinks highly of love. He sees it as the greatest of all human experiences - the experience every person must allow themselves to have thoroughly.

Which sentence features a boldface infinitive?
uranmaximum [27]
The sentence that contains a boldface infinitive is D. Lisa wants TO GO.
It is easy to spot an infinitive - it is usually a combination of the word TO plus a verb.
A and C are incorrect  because those are not infinitives, but rather prepositional phrases. B is incorrect because it is an infinitival phrase, rather than a single infinitive.
