In this, the second stanza of the poem, what does the speaker mean when he refers to his "fears,' 'tears," "smiles,' and 'wiles"

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

What the speaker means in the second stanza is:

B) These are the metaphorical methods with which he feeds his hatred.

Explanation:

This question refers to the poem "A Poison Tree", by William Blake. The poem revolves around the speaker's wrath against his enemy.

In the second stanza, the speaker metaphorically describes how he feeds his hatred:

And I waterd it in fears,

Night & morning with my tears:

And I sunned it with smiles,

And with soft deceitful wiles.

Here, the speaker compares his wrath to a plant, which he waters with his tears. Plants also need sunshine to grow, which is given by the speaker in the form of smiles and deceitful wiles. The speaker is revealing the duplicity of his behavior and personality. He smiles at his foe, deceiving him into believing that everything is OK between them. All the while, however, he keeps on feeding his hatred. Eventually, it will grow into a poison tree and will kill the speaker's enemy.

What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar? Select

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"

D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"

Explanation:

This best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar. If dark/brown sugar was easier to produce, then it would obviously not be as worth as much. How white was called pure and sweet put it at a higher value than brown sugar.
