Answer:

He is sold to his employer by is father.

Explanation:

William Blake's poem <em>"The Chimney Sweeper"</em> from his <em><u>"Songs of Innocence,"</u></em> tells the story of how a small boy was forced into employment as child labor which was a common practice in England of that time. This poem is a generalization of the prominent case of child labor through which some families get their incomes.

Narrated from the small boy's perspective, the first stanza reads

<em>When my mother died I was very young, </em>

<em>And my father sold me while yet my tongue </em>

<em>Could scarcely cry " 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!" </em>

<em>So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep</em>

It is clearly evident to see that the young boy's employment came at the death of his mother. <u>His father sold him to be a chimney sweeper</u> even before he could barely talk or speak.

emmainna [20.7K]
No, the speaker of Owen's poem would not agree with the idea that it is sweet and right to die for one's country.

The poem describes the horrors of war: the fear, the exhaustion, the suffering. The speaker wonders why people at home would support young men dying like this.

At the end of the poem, the speaker says the idea that it is sweet and right to die for one's country is "the old Lie."

Savatey [412]

Answer: D. Updating the line of reasoning in the final paragraph to acknowledge Gallup's contrasting perspective and respond to it.

Explanation:

The options include:

Removing the quotation by Redouan Bshary because his conclusions are at odds with Gallup's

B. Changing the thesis statement to argue that the study was faulty because it did not follow Gallup's methodology

C. Incorporating Gallup's response into the first paragraph after describing his original study on Chimpanzees

D. Updating the line of reasoning in the final paragraph to acknowledge Gallup's contrasting perspective and respond to it

E. Expanding on the description of the cleaner wrasse's penchant for eating parasites off other fish.

The change that the writer will need to make in order for this new information to work in the context of the overall argument the writer is making is to update the line of reasoning in the final paragraph to acknowledge Gallup's contrasting perspective and respond to it.

When this is done, it should be reliable to the readers which can be done by supporting the statement with facts.
