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.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

The <u>beautiful</u> girl walked to a park where there were three <u>birds</u> and one brown <u>dog</u> behind the<u> bushes</u>.

Explanation:

Dog: is a f<u>ree morpheme</u> because it can stand on itself, the morpheme coincides with the notion of the word.

Beautiful: is a bound morpheme made up of a free morpheme (beauty), which is the root, and an affix (-ful). When we add the suffix we are changing the category of the word, beuty is a noun while beautiful is an adjective, so we have a <u>derivational bound morpheme.</u>

Birds: is an<u> inflectional bound morpheme</u> because it is made up of two morphemes, a free morpheme (bird) and a bound morpheme (-s) that is modifying the number of the noun bird.

Bushes: is an <u>allomorph</u> because the pronunciation changes due to the addition of (-es), if we compare this word with the word birds, we can see that they are both plurals but the suffix and the pronunciation of the two differs, while the meaning is still the same more than one, plural.
