Answer:D. Cracks scored the concrete sidewalk, forcing the boys to skateboard carefully to school

Explanation:

The Darkling Thrush” is the article introduced in this question — it is a poem by Thomas Hardy the English poet and novelist.

The poem paints the picture of a world that is desolated, with the poem’s narrator and such focused on the cause of despair and hopelessness. 

The phrase ‘The tangled bine-stems scored the sky like strings of broken lyres’ is on the 5th and 6th line of the poem.

The use of the word ‘scored’ tells us what writer of the poem sees is destruction — as he stares at the ‘bine-stems. A simile indicating article "like" is key that helps compares the ‘bine-stems’ to ‘strings of broken lyres’ implying that that there is despair, no happiness, hopelessness or no music. Seems everything is just dead

Substituting "scored" with "like" in the context above we see that a"Cracks on roads like sidewalks does call for skaters to be careful.

Even though the scope of American literature continued to broaden in the second half of the twentieth
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

America´s literary heritage

Explanation:

From the Colonial Period (17th century) and Early National Period to the Romantic Period (1830- 1870) to Realism and Naturalism (1870-1910) to the Modernist Period (1910-1945), they all contributed in some way or another to the Contemporary Period in literature, that reflected the social upheaval that acompanied the contemporary and all the other socio-political periods of America.

There is no such thing as a typical American writing style.

The core values (like the natural rights of people) do play a significant role but they don´t determine American literature.

America´s leadership or hegemony is a fact but it doesn´t make its literature consistent.
