Since we know that the speaker is questioning about God or Satan creating the Tyger, choice A is the best answer here.
If we consider the background of the poem and the poet itself. William Blake wrote many poems in this particular vein, discussing and questioning God's power and omniscience. "The Tyger" is a paired poem (its partner is "The Lamb") from <em>Songs of Innocence and Experience</em>. In "The Lamb," Blake discusses the innocence of the lamb and what it represents.
Conversely, in "The Tyger" discusses experience or even the darker aspect of life. When you look at the line being referenced, the speaker is questioning if God, the same one that made the innocent lamb, can also make the fearsome tiger in the poem.
In "The Devil and Tom Walker," Washington Irving criticizes the selfish and heartless sections of American society, especially usurers, by satirizing them through Tom Walker’s character. He also criticizes the hypocrisy of American religious groups through his satirical description of Tom’s churchgoing and through his mention of the Salem witch trials and the persecution of Quakers and Anabaptists. He also seems to suggest that American society was founded on violence and inequality:
"Since the red men have been exterminated by you white savages, I amuse myself by presiding at the persecutions of Quakers and Anabaptists; I am the great patron and prompter of slave dealers, and the grandmaster of the Salem witches."
From Plato
The author argues for broadening the scope of what is considered literature and what is okay to teach in classrooms.
Explanation:
The author's argument is that the television and film have been forays old enough to be morally and culturally significant as literature as a large population grows up with exposure to it and its existence shapes their worldview too.
Thus it can be taught in the schools to show what is good and what is not on these forms too as well as to understand what is important in cultural context in these art forms too and what must be preserved as a society.
The answer is A.
Hope that helped....
