Answer:

Correct answer is A:  The speaker mentions great battles in hopes to inspire patriotism  in the reader.

Explanation:

"Read the following excerpt from "Grass" by Carl Sandburg:

And pile them high at Gettysburg

And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.

Shovel them under and let me work.

Two years, ten years, and the passengers ask the conductor:

        What place is this?

        Where are we now?

        I am the grass.

        Let me work.

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

A. The speaker mentions great battles in hopes to inspire patriotism

in the reader.

B. The speaker refers to Ypres and Verdun to imply that the grass

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>.

Read these lines from "Annabel Lee" and answer the question.
KonstantinChe [14]
This passage uses repetition to create a haunting effect in two different ways. The first way repetition is used is through literal repetition, repeating the phrase "my darling" and ending both of the final lines with the word "sea". The second form of repetition that creates this effect is the repetition of an idea. A sepulchre is an area where a person is buried, and so is a tomb, so the final two lines have the same meaning. 

The change in end rhyme in from the first two lines to the last two lines is also significant, because it changes the focus of the poem from mourning the person who has been laid to rest, to the place in which she has been laid to rest.
