Read the following poem, then answer the question. Barnacles My soul is sailing through the sea, But the Past is heavy and hinde

reth me. The Past hath crusted cumbrous shells That hold the flesh of cold sea-mells About my soul. The huge waves wash, the high waves roll, Each barnacle clingeth and worketh dole And hindereth me from sailing! Old Past, let go, and drop i' the sea Till fathomless waters cover thee! For I am living, but thou art dead; Thou drawest back, I strive ahead The Day to find. Thy shells unbind! Night comes behind; I needs must hurry with the wind And trim me best for sailing. —Sydney Lanier What is the central idea of this poem? Provide evidence from the poem to support your answer. WRITER

The central idea of this poem is that you past will haunt you if you make it a burden. for example, at first, the author talked about how the past "hindereth's" them: My soul is sailing through the sea, But the Past is heavy and hindereth me." Then after that, the author lets go of his past making a hindered to them no more: "Old Past, let go, and drop i' the sea, Till fathomless waters cover thee!"

sorry if all the grammars not correct i am a bit of a dummy when it comes to spelling.

In Paragraph 3, the author uses the phrase “simply turning a knob or switch.”
masya89 [10]

After reading the article "A Cooking Revolution: How clean energy and cookstoves are saving lives," we can choose the following option concerning how the phrase "simply turning a knob or switch" affects meaning:

A. The plain, precise language emphasizes how easy it is for Americans to start a stove.

<h3>What is the article about?</h3>
  • Author and chef José Andrés discusses how important it is for people in developing countries to have access to cookstoves and clean energy. Andrés explains that, unlike Americans, those people must use charcoal, wood, or other materials to start a fire in open cookstoves.
  • Such practices are unhealthy to not only the people but also the environment.  The black carbon emissions contribute to climate change, and fumes inhaled by people cause diseases that lead to a high death rate.

<h3>How does the phrase affect meaning?</h3>
  • When the author says, "For Americans, turning on the stove means simply turning a knob or a switch," he wants to convey the idea of how easy it is for Americans and people in other developed countries to start a stove.
  • Americans have access to clean energy and good cookstoves. They do not have to spend hours trying to start a fire, nor do they have to worry about diseases caused by the smoke.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A as the best answer.
