Answer:
Lola Ridge's life in New York as a working immigrant was a strong influence on her writing.
Explanation:
Based on the biography and the poem, we can see that Ridge's life in New York as a working immigrant heavily influenced her writing, which she became best known for.
She did not begin writing about immigrants because it was interesting. The lives of immigrants were not easy, and their struggle is what inspired Lola Ridge.
She was a well-known author, and the fact she changed her name didn't influence her career.
She didn't become a painter and activist because her writing about people's rights didn't sell. In fact, her writing is what she is best known for.
All of this makes the second statement the correct one.

In this example, the author is comparing someone who stood to a 'pillar of cloud torn'. This compares how unadmiring a torn pillar of cloud is with the way the person stood.
2.<em> "faded banners of the departed summer ancient blood-stains against the dark-blue sky" </em>
Figurative language: <u>a Metaphor</u>
Meaning: a Metaphor is symbolic (non-literal) comparison of an object or action with another thing, action, or idea in other to explain an idea. Hence, the expression, "<em>summer ancient blood-stains" </em>refers to horrific events in the past that resulted in <em>"dark-blue sky"</em> (or grief).
