Read the excerpt from "Mending Wall." We keep the wall between us as we go. To each the boulders that have fallen to each. And s

ome are loaves and some so nearly balls We have to use a spell to make them balance: "Stay where you are until our backs are turned!" We wear our fingers rough with handling them. Oh, just another kind of out-door game, One on a side. It comes to little more: There where it is we do not need the wall: He is all pine and I am apple orchard."

Answer:

- It has iambic pentameter.

Explanation:

Blank verse is elucidated as the literary device that involves a regular iambic pentameter(consists of five iambic feet(an unstressed or short syllable followed by a stressed or long syllable)).

In the given excerpt from Robert Frost's 'Mending Wall', <u>the use of 'iambic pentameter'(five metrical feet') makes it fall in the category of blank verse and helps the poet to create the desired rhythm and mood to convey the intended message effectively</u> ('remove the barriers(walls) that prevent socialization or human interaction) to the audience<u>.</u> The poet feels that 'walls are not good for humans as it promotes isolation and segregation.

In which phrase does the writer most need to improve the
Ludmilka [50]

<u>O way it handles things on streets</u>

Explanation:

There is a needless ambiguity in this phrase that would just confuse the reader. it is not good prose when you can use just as many words and explain what the problem is but instead just use the word 'things' to describe them.

<u>The sentence begs to understand what exactly it is that the car does not understand on the road or has a difficulty to follow but this is left unanswered in the text of the paragraph.</u>

So this  is where the author must re question their word choice for the passage.

stepladder [879]
The last one. The only scenario where you wouldn't put a comma in the first quote is if it's a completed remark that uses particular punctuation such as a quotation or exclamation mark, but never a period. Hope this helped.
