The following lines are from Alexander Pope's "An Essay on Criticism." In it, Pope (1688-1744) gives his opinions on the secret

of good writing, opinions that were very consistent with his times. Answer the question below based upon these lines.
Those RULES of old discover'd, not devis'd,
Are Nature still, but Nature Methodiz'd;
Nature, like Liberty, is but restrain'd
By the same Laws which first herself ordain'd.
...
You then whose Judgment the right Course wou'd steer, [5]
Know well each ANCIENT's proper Character,
His Fable, Subject, Scope in ev'ry Page,
Religion, Country, Genius of his Age:
Without all these at once before your Eyes,
Cavil you may, but never Criticize. [10]
Be Homer's Works your Study, and Delight,
Read them by Day, and meditate by Night,
Thence form your Judgment, thence your Maxims bring,
And trace the Muses upward to their Spring;
Still with It self compar'd, his Text peruse; [15]
And let your Comment be the Mantuan* Muse.
...
True Wit is Nature to Advantage drest,
What oft was Thought, but ne'er so well Exprest,
...
True Ease in Writing comes from Art, not Chance,
As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance, [20]



*Mantuan: Mantua was the home of Vergil, the author of the Aeneid.

I'd go with C) Analogy since it's comparing nature to liberty, which are two unalike things.

ITS DUE TODAY PLEASE!!! NO SENDING ME A LINK OF THE ANSWER PLEASE!!!!!
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

I'm going to start off by saying that I'm answering this assuming that the two stories you're referring to are "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost and "The Railway Train" by Emily Dickinson because these are two famous pieces and it's likely that you are referring to them.

Now, onto the comparing! Both of these stories are set in a natural, and people-free, almost lonely sort of environment. They both focus on a certain thing, whether it be a path or a train, in an environment with grass, meadows, mountains, and other such things while neglecting to mention anything relating to people. The lonely setting only serves to support the poems though, as they draw more focus to their main ideas.

These poems are different because while "The Road Not Taken" focuses on just a smaller area, a fork in a road, "The Railway Train" describes a train using personification as it moves along a whole countryside. The more pinpointed and focused setting of "The Road Not Taken" helps the reader understand what a vital, focused moment it was in the author's life it was, when they decided to choose the less-worn path. In "The Railway Train," the wider setting of a whole countryside that describes a meandering train evokes a sort of awe in the reader because it's almost like describing an adventure. This way of describing the path of the train in a wider setting helps the reader understand why the author likes watching the trains so much.
