The word aqueduct comes from the Latin words "Aqua" meaning water and "ducere" meaning to lead. Then it becomes the Latin word "aquae ductus" meaning conduit. Therefore, the meaning of the word aqueduct is a structure that leads water. The correct answer is option B.

"<u>Aquaeductus</u>", <em><u>which is the result of the sum of two components</u></em>:

-<em><u>The noun</u></em> "<u>aqua</u>", <em><u>which is synonymous with</u></em> "<u>water</u>".

- <u>"Duct"</u>, <em><u>which derives from the verb</u></em> "<u><em>ducere</em></u>", <em><u>which is equivalent to</u></em> <u>"guide"</u>.

<u>Therefore, an aqueduct is a channel artificially constructed to carry water to a specific site</u>.

Lines 1-8: How do the images in lines 1-8 depart from the pastoral tradition? Cite specific words and phrases and the feelings t
ryzh [129]

The first 8 lines make the poem sound like bad news, and the word "contagious" sets the mood for the poem. The pastoral tradition celebrates the beauty of the natural world and the simple pleasure of living in the countryside. However, the first 8 lines of the poem seem to claim the exact opposite, with words like "contagious" "surge" "cold", and "waste."
