Answer:

B) The poet in "Old Ironsides" asks for the ship to be destroyed, while the poet in "Concord Hymn" asks that the monument stone be preserved.

Explanation:

Old Ironsides" by Oliver Wendel Holmes Sr, asks for the old ship to be destroyed or sink. We can see that the poet asks for the destruction of the ship when he says

<em>"...No more shall feel the victor's tread,</em>

<em>Or know the conquered knee;-</em>

<em>The harpies of the shore shall pluck</em>

<em>The eagle of the sea!</em>

<em> </em>

<em>O, better than her shattered hulk</em>

<em>Should sink beneath the wave;..."</em>

We can see that the old navy had its glory days, but now it is old, and it is not of use, as it was.

On the other hand, Ralph Waldo Emerson in "Concord Hymn" asks for the monument to be preserved since it is commemorating a special event. The stone monument is there to honor and remember the heroes of a battle that happened there.

We can see that the poet asks for the monument stone to be preserved when he says,

<em>"On this green bank, by this soft stream,</em>

<em>We set today a votive stone;</em>

<em>That memory may their deed redeem,</em>

<em>When, like our sires, our sons are gone.</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Bid Time and Nature gently spare</em>

<em>The shaft we raise to them and thee." </em>

18. "... Thousands at [God's] bidding speed/And post o'er land and ocean without rest:/They also serve who only stand and wait."
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

C) A person does not have to accomplish great things to serve God.

Explanation:

These are last lines from John Milton’s (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) one of the most famous short poems  "When I Consider How My Light is Spent" or alternatively known as “On His Blindness”.

In the context of these lines Milton compares God with a King and contrasts Him with a lord. In these lines Milton says that God has innumerable (thousands) working at his state moving speedily from place to place (Thousands at his bidding speed). These tasks need men to have light and vision. Since God has innumerable resources he does not need every one to do an active work. Sometimes God also appoints some people on standby and work when the right time comes.

In brief, Milton being previously very active in social and political matters of the country knows that working actively for God is a good deed. But those who are physically hampered (like Milton) also serve God in waiting for their turn to accomplish a task when it is assigned.

An outlet store receives a shipment of fancy watches that will be offered at a discounted price of $260 apiece. The fancy watche
igor_vitrenko [27]

The discount, as a percentage, for the fancy watches offered at a discounted price of $260 per unit instead of the $500 original price is <u>48%</u>.

<h3>What is a discounted price?</h3>

A discounted price is a markdown on the price of a product.

For instance, the outlet store's fancy watch with an original price of $500 and sold at a discounted price of $260, is discounted by 48%.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Discounted price = $260

Original selling price = $500

Discount = $240 ($500 - $260)

Discount percentage = 48% ($240/$500 x 100)

Thus, the discount, as a percentage, for the fancy watches offered at a discounted price of $260 per unit instead of the $500 original price is <u>48%</u>.
