        Let me work.

Which sentence best analyzes the poet's use of allusion in this passage?

cannot conceal all human activities,

O

C. The speaker refers to Gettysburg to suggest that grass can hide

even great battle losses.

D. The speaker of the poem addresses the grass, implying that he

can communicate with nature"

In this poem, the speaker wants to remind people that even after the grass covers the battlefields and clears the view of the dead bodies,<em> the memory always sticks with people</em>. Although some of the readers haven't experienced the battlefields directly, chances are great that someone from their family or friends has and that it left great scars on their body, soul and mind.  Except for making us compassionate, this poem is also a warning that all the<u> suffering and horrors of war mustn't be forgotten</u>.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

need

Explanation:

Question of policy is basically a question whether or not an actions should be performed in order to change the existing conditions.

In analyzing the question of policy there are three issues:

1) need - determining is there a serious problem and is there a need for solving it

2) plan - if such a problem exists what is the plan (course of action) for solving it

3) practicality - if the plan is accepted, will it soove the problem or will it just make it worse and open some new issues

Casey's speech contains pointing out the problem and providing the evidence to support the claim. The speech doesn't suggest any plan nor further analysis, rather it just states the problem which can affect both, the crops and people.
