Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Answer:
(d) A personal meditation on human courage in the face of destruction
Explanation:
The poem reinforces the idea that human beings would promote their own destruction with an excuse that they were trying to protect each other, when in fact they were not. The poet wrote this poem to reinforce the fear of nuclear weapons that proved to be gigantic threats and that allowed human beings to play with their own destruction.
Answer:
different ethnicities can different languages and often times when you know a certain language that puts you in a certain group of people
Explanation:
knowing a language means that you can converse with people that know the same language and share ideas with them. If i speak english and i have to choose wether or not to talk to a person that knows english or a person that speaks spanish, im going to talk to the person that speaks english because its easier to share your ideas with them. technically, knowing the language puts you in the group of speaking that language and people never want to go the hard way to try and talk to the person that wants to speak spanish. not to mention the fact that when someone knows your langauage, you feel more comfortable around them. If i am asian and I speak cantonese, but im in the middle of a english speaking crowd, i definatly feel more comfortable if i meet someone that can speak cantonese as well. Does that help??
