Answer:

The poem "Lilacs" is written in free verse. The poem flows almost like a conversation. The poem doesn’t follow any sort of traditional pattern or style. For example, the lines of the poem vary in length and do not follow a rhyme scheme. The free verse form allows the poet to create vivid and descriptive images.

If the poem had been written as a sonnet, the poem would lose much of its description. The 14-line structure of the sonnet would restrict the poet's words and ideas. As a result, the images would have to be much less detailed and developed. For instance, consider the following lines from the poem:

Lilacs, False blue, White, Purple, Color of lilac, You have forgotten your Eastern origin, The veiled women with eyes like panthers, The swollen, aggressive turbans of jeweled Pashas.

These lines give the impression that the speaker is looking at and addressing each lilac separately—each line represents each lilac. The sonnet form would not have allowed for such varied line length or involved descriptions.

Answer:

1. Council members deplored the outbreak of violence in areas close to schools.

2. Several of the old buildings still retained the ornate ceilings and banisters that were typical of the eighteenth century.

3. During economic hardships, most people find prodigal spenders offensive.

Explanation:

The corresponding and appropriate vocabulary for the bolded words in the given sentences are changed as follows-

1. In replacing "grumbled about" with "deplored", they imply the same attitude but with much more strong opposition. While mere grumbling may suggest complaints and disinterest, 'deplored' gives a sense of strongly disapproving of the plan.

2. The word "stylish" can be replaced by "ornate" as they both imply the same decorative sense of the ceiling. But at the same time, "ornate" gives the sense of a more beautiful, better-decorated piece than the simple word "stylish".

3. The word "big" in describing the spenders is plain and can just describe any shopper who spends a lot. But the use of "prodigal" in describing the spenders gives the sense of unnecessary spending. This word gives more voice to the disapproving tone about such spenders.
