Answer:

A Couplet

Explanation:

A couplet is a pair of rhyming lines. A stanza with two verses. Shakespeare has a tendency of ending with a rhyming couplet after 3 stanzas with 4 lines (quadruplets).

You can check the <u>Sonnet X</u> example bellow:

<em>For shame! deny that thou bear'st love to any, </em>

<em>Who for thyself art so unprovident. </em>

<em>Grant, if thou wilt, thou art beloved of many, </em>

<em>But that thou none lovest is most evident; </em>

<em>For thou art so possess'd with murderous hate 5 </em>

<em>That 'gainst thyself thou stick'st not to conspire. </em>

<em>Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate </em>

<em>Which to repair should be thy chief desire. </em>

<em>O, change thy thought, that I may change my mind! </em>

<em>Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love? 10 </em>

<em>Be, as thy presence is, gracious and kind, </em>

<em>Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove: </em>

<em> Make thee another self, for love of me, </em>

<em> That beauty still may live in thine or thee.</em>

She tells him that his toes have a chance of salvation if he keeps his nose warm. The Pobble henceforth wears a red flannel scarf on his huge nose. He decided to go for a swim one day, his scarf is stolen by a dolphin before he swims to the opposite shore. When he gets out of the water, he discovers his toes have vanished. As the Pobble mourns his lost toes, he is flabbergasted and contemplates on which creature of the deep may have taken them: A crawfish? A shrimp? A mermaid? </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>It's a story about ; properly taking care of one's things, learning to let go of things that are really not all that important, being obsessed with material things, accepting one's body image, about growing up and becoming an adult, the inevitable things that may happen, fear of loss.</em></h2><h2><em /></h2><h2><em /></h2><h2><em> HOPE IT HELPS (◕‿◕✿) </em></h2><h2><em> SMILE!!</em></h2>

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Explanation:

it could've been a, but for what it is mostly about b makes more sense cause it mentioned things the man did with his time such as when it talks about him spending an hour turning over books

it doesn't seem like a cause books in general isn't that special because you can't rush everything. it cant be c cause the person wanting to buy the book didn't want to pay the price that was asked, the clerk wasn't wrong, also it never said the specific price or what kind of book the man wanted to buy so d wouldn't be right and it said everything when the man just wanted a book
