Answer:

The word peculiar was used in 1611 to mean a very special person or object. This meaning can be followed to its present meaning, strange, odd, or unusual. Likewise, the word corn in England was the name used for all other grains except corn. They had never seen the grain they obtained later from the American Indian.

Answer:

Conversation in 1611 was used in many passages, the word is used something like this: "Your vain conversation received from your fathers," or "Our conversation is in heaven." In the first passage, conversation refers to a manner of life; and in the second, it means citizenship. The word peculiar was used in 1611 to mean a very special person or object. This meaning can be followed to its present meaning, strange, odd, or unusual. Likewise, the word corn in England was the name used for all other grains except corn. They had never seen the grain they obtained later from the American Indian. Our vocabulary must have evolved throughout time as we advanced in different ways and as humanity continues to evolve I am definite that our vocabulary will continue to change as time goes on.

Which lines from “The Chimney Sweeper” (Songs of Innocence) most accurately portray the innocent, naive perspective of the child
Pavel [41]

<u>Answer</u>:

The lines from “The Chimney Sweeper” (Songs of Innocence) that most accurately portray the innocent, naive perspective of the child speaker are: “And by came an angel, who had a bright key, And he opened the coffins, and set them all free; Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing, they run And wash in a river, and shine in the sun.” Option C is the correct answer over here.

<u>Explanation</u>:

William Blake’s “The Chimney Sweeper,” is an insight into a corrupt society and a criticised view of the Church. These unprivileged children lead a death-infected life of restriction but in their dreams they are on a green plain where there is pleasure, light, colour and laughter and they are free and running.

The reality is subjected to the darkness of the city life and a capitalist economy. In the lines mentioned above, this is portrayed. The dream helps Tom endure his misery but the poet isn’t ready to commend such a passive acceptance of misery to obtain the happiness of heaven after death .
