The correct answer to the first question (<em>what can be inferred by contrasting the ideas in the first two stanzas of the poem to the last stanza</em>) is D) The awful tempest rages all night long and terrifies the speaker of the poem.

The first two stanzas, through adjectives like <em>"awful" and "gaunt"</em>, expressions like <em>"spectre's cloak"</em> and <em>"creatures"</em>, and verbs like <em>"chuckled", "whistled" and "gnashed"</em>, convey that the tempest was <em>terrifying</em>, which can be understood by <em>the speaker's word choice</em> when telling the reader about it.

The last stanza shows that <em>the storm lasted all nigh</em>t when the speaker says <em>"morning lit"</em>, and, by expressing her <em>relief</em> and <em>how peaceful</em> she thought everything was after the storm had passed, the speaker intensifies the idea that <em>it had been a terrifying storm</em>. So, the correct answer to this question would be D.

Answer <em>A</em> is not correct because <em>nothing indicates that the speaker would be fascinated by the storm</em>, rather scared. Answer<em> B</em> is not correct because <em>the tempest is not saddened by the morning sun</em>, on the contrary, the speaker shows his relief and peace almost with happiness, which can be inferred by the presence of an exclamation mark in the last verse. Answer <em>C</em> is not correct because <em>the tempest is not saddened at first, it is scary</em>.

The correct answer to the second question (<em>what device did Dickinson employ to create the effect in lines 1 and 2</em>) is C) Paradox.

A paradox is <em>a statement that seems to be contradictory in logic, that seems to not be true, but that also is not false. </em>The speaker creates <em>an absurd effect</em> by using a paradox to describe the tempest when she suggests <em>a storm with gaunt and few clouds.</em> So, the correct answer to this question would be C.

Answer <em>A </em>isn't correct, the device used by Dickinson <em>couldn't be an hyperbole because that figure of speech would cause the contrary effect</em>; the storm would be shown like something grandiose and extremely terrifying, with an <em>exaggerated connotation</em>. Answer <em>B</em> isn't correct because there is <em>no presence of an onomatopoeia in both lines</em> since there is no written sound. Answer<em> D</em> isn't correct because the storm<em> is not personified with human characteristics</em>, rather the clouds are "gaunt", which is an adjective that can refer to objects.

The correct answer to the third question (<em>why did Dickinson most likely use the phrase "black, as of a spectre's cloak" in the first stanza</em>) is D) to create a feeling of darkness and gloom.

The black spectre's cloak mentioned is <em>an image that describes how the gaunt and few clouds created a dark plain sky that covered the earth and the heaven</em>, leaving everything <em>dark and gloomy</em>. That was the storm's appearance. Therefore, the correct answer to this question would be D.

Answer<em> A </em>is not correct because, although the storm could have been a dream, <em>nothing in the poem indicates that it was</em>; on the contrary, the description of the <em>storm going away in the morning indicates that it wasn't a bad dream, but something real</em>. Answer <em>B</em> is not correct because <em>the black cloak mentioned doesn't transmit a sensation of coldness</em> but of darkness. Answer <em>C</em> is not correct because <em>the poem isn't comic</em>, not even slightly, and this expression makes it even darker.

The correct answer to the last question (<em>how does the poet convey the seriousness of the storm</em>) is A) She uses personification to emphasize the impact of the storm.

When the poet describes the storm as a <em>"monster"</em> whose <em>"faded eyes turned slowly to his native coast"</em>, she is using <em>personification to emphasize how serious the storm was</em>, as if it were <em>like a monster with eyes that can turn, and with power and strength</em>. Hence, the correct answer to this question is A.

Answer <em>B</em> isn't correct because <em>neither does the poet use paradoxes in the last stanza nor does she show the storm as majestic.</em> Answer <em>C</em> isn't correct because <em>she doesn't use informal language and the storm seems to have been very serious and strong</em>, and not the opposite. Answer <em>D</em> isn't correct because <em>she doesn't show the changes that are coming through metaphors</em>, the poet actually shows only <em>the peaceful feeling that was left when the storm was gone. </em>

Think about the Sons of Liberty described and discussed in the previous lesson titled, Citizenship Rights and Responsibilities.
dimulka [17.4K]
The Sons of Liberty, a well-organized Patriot paramilitary political organization shrouded in secrecy, was established to undermine British rule in colonial America and was influential in organizing and carrying out the Boston Tea Party. The origins and founding of the Sons of Liberty is unclear, but history records the earliest known references to the organization to 1765 in the thriving colonial port cities of Boston and New York. More than likely, the Boston and New York chapters of the Sons of Liberty were deliberately established at the same time and worked as an underground network in conjunction with each other. It is believed the Sons of Liberty was formed out of earlier smaller scale like-minded Patriot organizations such as the<span> “Boston Caucus Club” </span><span>and </span>“Loyal Nine.”<span> Membership was made up of males from all walks of colonial society but was notorious in recruiting tavern mongers, wharf rats, and other seedy characters looking to cause trouble. Under the cover of darkness, the Boston chapter of the organization held their meetings under the “Liberty Tree,” and the New York chapter under the “Liberty Pole.” The “Liberty Tree” was located in Hanover Square, “the most public part” of Boston and was a 120-year-old “stately elm” with branches that “seem’d to touch the skies” according to the Boston Gazette. Taverns, with owners sympathetic to the Patriot cause, were also the favorite meeting places of the Sons of Liberty. The Green Dragon Tavern in Boston was the tavern of choice for meetings of the Sons of Liberty. Despite very little documentary evidence as to the origins of the organization, Boston Patriot Samuel Adams is often credited as being the founder and leader of the Sons of Liberty. The Sons of Liberty was most likely organized in the summer of 1765 as a means to protest the passing of the Stamp Act of 1765. Their motto was, “No taxation without representation.”

O. Write MC (main clause), SC (subordinate clause) or CC (coordinate clause) for the clauses
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

1. Though I enjoy most vegetables (SC), I do not eat cauliflower (MC).

2. Jatin and his family moved to a small town (MC) because they wanted a simpler life (SC).

3. We tried to buy tickets (MC) but the concert was sold out (CC).

4. On my birthday, I will get a new camera and a tripod (MC).

5. If you word hard (SC) you are sure to succeed (MC).

6. He has so much money (MC) yet he lives a very simple life (CC).

7. The puppy will not stop whining (MC) until you feed him (SC).

8. The entire audience stood up to give the singer a standing ovation (MC).

9. This car is too small (MC) but that car is too expensive (CC).

10. I will study (MC) until my friends arrive (SC).

Explanation:

A main clause is an independent sentence. That means it has a subject and a predicate and it can stand alone as a sentence because it conveys a complete thought.

A coordinate clause also has a subject and a predicate and it is originally an independent sentence. However, it is joined to the main clause by a coordinating conjunction. To memorize the coordinating conjunctions, remember the acronym FANBOYS - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.

Finally, a subordinate clause has a subject and a predicate, but it cannot stand alone as a sentence. It cannot express a complete thought on its own. Subordinate clauses are introduced by subordinating conjunctions (if, until, though, because, etc.)

NOTE: Numbers 4 and 8 are simple sentences. That means we only have one independent sentence and no coordinate or subordinate clauses.
