Which statement describes the difference in tone between the first half and the second half of "Poem"? A:The first half is philo

sophical; the second half portrays reality.
B:The first half is optimistic; the second half is more ominous.
C:The first half suggests indifference; the second half is more promising. D:The first half questions authority; the second half approves of commercialism.

Poem:
I lived in the first century of world wars.
Most mornings I would be more or less insane,
The newspapers would arrive with their careless stories,
The news would pour out of various devices
Interrupted by attempts to sell products to the unseen.
I would call my friends on other devices;
They would be more or less mad for similar reasons.
Slowly I would get to pen and paper,
Make my poems for others unseen and unborn.
In the day I would be reminded of those men and women,
Brave, setting up signals across vast distances,
Considering a nameless way of living, of almost unimagined values.
As the lights darkened, as the lights of night brightened,
We would try to imagine them, try to find each other,
To construct peace, to make love, to reconcile
Waking with sleeping, ourselves with each other,
Ourselves with ourselves. We would try by any means
To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves,
To let go the means, to wake.

I lived in the first century of these wars.

<span>As you're reading along the poem, it tells a tale of stories that seem to be pouring out of all the news sources and that there are so many that people seem to not care. In the latter part of the poem it seems that the writer is more cognizant of the fact that the people behind the stories meant something, so maybe the news was important after all. The answer is C.</span>

Dear editor.

I believe that you, like me, are aware of the environmental impact that the waste produced in our homes causes, especially the waste from industrialized products such as plastic, metals, glass, among others. This environmental impact is what causes the importance of waste segregation, because it allows these materials not to be thrown away, but to be separated to participate in recycling processes, becoming new products and reducing the environmental impact.

However, despite this importance, I have noticed that many neighborhoods, including mine, have not accepted this position and have thrown all kinds of garbage in a single deposit. This prevents recycling, since the mixed products are simply thrown into nature, without any care.

I believe that these neighborhoods know the importance of waste segregation, but as they have no type of inspection or punishment, they do not obey this rule.

For this reason, I write to you, with the hope that you will disseminate this message and reinforce the need for inspection so that the segregation of garbage is carried out.

graciously

Can you grow mindset
devlian [24]

Answer:

<h2>Yes, Yes you can.</h2>

Explanation:

Growing a mindset is more of a metaphorical term rather than one that is scientific. (Someone may need to check me on that science)

<h3>There are two types of mindsets</h3>
  • Fixed: a state of mind that believes they cannot accomplish a certain task. This is basically the description of someone who has issues believing in themselves, or someone that is too lazy to complete the task at hand.
  • Growth: The mindset that is open to new possibilities and is willing to take on new challenges. One that is looking towards the future and using their work ethic to improve their quality of work/life.
