Answer:

The theme of this excerpt is the use of voice instead of violence to solve problems.

Explanation:

This excerpt from the poem <em>September 1, 1939</em>, written by <em>W. H. Auden</em> encourages people to question what they see, and to consider whether the truth that the State offers is really true truth. He proposes raising the voices as a way of inciting dialogue and not the violence of wars, in order to obtain a fairer world.

Answer:

a. the wish that he will meet God when he dies (it is, indeed, the correct choice)

Explanation:

A <em>bourne</em> is a literary word for a limit or boundary.

A <em>pilot</em> is an archaic word for a guide or a leader. The first letter is capitalized, which means it is not an ordinary guide or leader, but <em>the Guide </em>or <em>the Leader</em>. It is a pretty obvious reference to God, who, as Christians believe, guides us all.

Basically, what he says in these final lines is "although he may be carried beyond the limits of time and space as we know them, he retains the hope that he will look upon the face of his “Pilot”(i.e. God) when he has crossed the sand bar."

If you reread the entire poem, you will see that it is about Lord Tennyson's accepting death as an inevitable and natural part of life. He asks his family not to grieve over him when he dies. Nothing is said about love in the poem.

The people separated good-humoredly to let her through: two or three people said, in voices just loud enough to be heard across
7nadin3 [17]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

Read this excerpt from "The Lottery":

The people separated good-humoredly to let her through: two or three people said, in voices just loud enough to be heard across the crowd, "here comes your missus, hutchinson," and "bill, she made it after all." mrs. hutchinson reached her husband, and mr. summers, who had been waiting, said cheerfully, "thought we were going to have to get on without you, tessie." mrs. hutchinson said grinning, "wouldn't have me leave m'dishes in the sink, now, would you, joe? " and soft laughter ran through the crowd as the people stirred back into position after mrs. hutchinson's arrival.

Which line from the excerpt contains irony?

a. “bill, she made it after all.”

b.“thought we were going to have to get on without you, tessie.”

c. “wouldn’t have me leave m’dishes in the sink, now, would you, joe? ”

d. “here comes your missus, hutchinson.”

Answer: b.“thought we were going to have to get on without you, tessie.”

Explanation:

At first sight, none of the choices provided seem to hold any irony. It´s only after finishing Shirley Jackson´s short story that we learn that the lottery´s purpose is to select a neighbor to be killed. Since it´s Tessie who gets chosen, Mr. Summers´ comment becomes ironic as well as a foreshadowing element in the story.
