How should a river be used? Should it provide clean drinking water for the people living nearby? Should it be used as a source o

f hydroelectric power for cities downstream? Should it be used for fishing, rafting, or transporting goods from place to place? Should it be used for watering crops? Or should it remain in its natural state, unaffected by the activities of humans? These questions have never been answered to everyone's satisfaction. All over the world, rivers have been dammed, drained, and diverted for watering, transportation, energy production, and recreation. Farmers are irate when they can't use river water for their crops. Those who make their living from fishing are unhappy when farmers take the water or when farm pesticides and fertilizers pollute it. Strong and sometimes even violent disagreements occur over how best to use this limited resource.
Why does the first paragraph ask a series of questions?
a) to persuade the reader to support river conservation movements
b) to help readers decide what our rivers should really be used for
c) to show the reader the conflicting demands on our water resources
d) to show readers the water problems created by prior appropriation

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The speaker shows how in the eighth month of waiting, she is sad to see the butterflies flying in pairs, as this reinforces the idea of loneliness that she feels.

Explanation:

"Changgan Memories" by Li Po is a poem about a young couple who had to split up after two years of marriage. The speaker of the poem is the wife who lives lonely and sad waiting for her husband to return. At every moment, the loneliness she feels becomes more intense, reaching the point that everything she looks at reminds her husband is far away.

After waiting for her husband for eight months, she feels sad to see the butterflies flying in pairs through the garden. The butterflies seem happy with each other's company, it makes her feel more sad and lonely. This can be seen by the lines:<em> "And now, in the Eighth-month, yellowing butterflies/ Hover, two by two, in our west-garden grasses/ And, because of all this, my heart is breaking."</em>

kiruha [24]
Unrequited love resulting to broken relationships or heart can be or could correspond to death. It may seem overly rated but this happens in real life as emotions play a big part to a person's well being. This is what makes us human.
