WITCHER [35]

“Calypso Borealis” and “I wandered lonely as a cloud” are poems by John Muir and William Wordsworth, respectively. Both poems describe the power of nature and loneliness.

<h3>What is the idea of both poems?</h3>

John Muir's poem talks about a rare flower species, Calypso Borealis. At first, he was not at ease because of nature, but later his loneliness turned, and he felt an emotional connection with the flower. The beautiful flowers changed his lost hope and despair.

Wordsworth's poem describes his mental journey in the lap of nature and how the image of daffodils made him feel happy and joyous whenever he was alone and sad. He felt relaxed whenever he thought of nature, and the clouds made him less lonely.

Therefore, the idea of loneliness in both poems was changed when the poets interacted with nature.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

B) The addition of dried apples and raisins to the formula.

Explanation:

Based on the excerpt above, Dr. Elsa Birde noticed the increase in the number of songbirds in his bird feeders after she added the new mixture into the feeds. Addition of mixture of dried apples and raisins in the usual feed of sunflower seeds, millet, thistle seed and cracked corn was a new plan of hers to try out on the birds. And she found that it was successful in bringing about the increase in the birds. Also, this increase is not just a one time thing. She kept recording the result for more than three years and the results remained the same. That is why she is also planning put the formula into production for others to experience the same increase. Thus, it can be safely said that the increase in the songbirds at the bird feeders is due to the addition of the new mixture to the formula.
