Ted is analyzing the sonnet “Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802.” As you read the sonnet, notice what the autho

r says about urban and rural settings.
Earth has not anything to show more fair:

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by

A sight so touching in its majesty:

This City now doth, like a garment, wear

The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.


Never did sun more beautifully steep

In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

The river glideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lying still!


How does the poem’s form contribute to its meaning?

A.
The rhyme scheme emphasizes the beauty and natural elements of the city.
B.
The octave creates an image of the city, while the sestet gives the speaker’s awed reaction.
C.
The octave introduces the speaker’s opinions about cities, while the sestet contradicts those opinions.
D.
The meter, iambic pentameter, mimics the sounds of natural elements while the lines describe an urban scene.

Answer:

B. The octave creates an image of the city, while the sestet gives the speaker’s awed reaction.

Explanation:

The first eight lines of this poem describe the way the city of London looks from the bridge. It gives great imagery and detail. Then, the final six lines represent the speaker's awe at this sight. This structure allows for the reader to understand what the speaker is looking at and then follow him through his admiration for what he sees.

It says "You" a bunch of times, and "</span>you are devoted by the enemy to plunder and destruction" by "<span> Howe, the chief of plunderers" (which was their enemy at the time".

This means that, because they do not want to be plundered & that they can gain things if the revolution is successful, they will want to support the cause & fight for the rebellion.

20 POINTS PLEASE HELP!Based on your reading of the following passage, in what ways do the events of 9/11 provide a good example
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Both immediate and longer term industry responses to the security failures related to transportation showed

that various security holes existed between businesses in transportation chains from all modes and that many

transportation businesses were unaware of how other links in their chain handled safety issues, or if they did at all.

The regulation concerns areas that present safety concerns and may cause loss of life.

The inability of players in transportation chains to identify who was handling safety issues and how they were handling them

highlights a need for clarification of duties and roles within the industry.

The

investigation of the 9/11 events have further highlighted widespread and serious security flaws in the transportation

industry, such as the lack of regulation of flight schools and the use of water transportation to ship potentially lethal

items such as explosives. Unfortunately, the various security precautions that have placed a financial burden on

transportation companies change frequently and are often ineffective.
