Answer:
B. The owners had to stand behind a yellow line that had been spray-painted across a 40 foot by 80 foot grassy field.
Explanation:
Statement B is describing the physical setting of the competition, therefore, it is the statement that best helps the reader imagine the setting of the competition.
The other three statements, on the other hand, are describing actions or characters, wich are not that helpful to establish the setting.
Burthen - meaning, weight, significance
Recompense-reward
Loon-a silly or foolish person
Rill-a small stream
Measure-the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music
<u>Explanation:</u>
The words that have been given in the poem have meanings like rill means a small stream, a loon person is one who is silly or a foolish person. Recompense is the reward given for the compensation of the loss.
Burthen is the archaic form of "burden" which means "weight/significance/or meaning". All these words add meaning to the lines of the poem and help the readers understand the meaning of the poems by measuring those.
Answer is B. While the language he used was still considered modern English, he invented his own words which makes it confusing to understand for modern students.

Answer:
D. The way sentences extend from one stanza into the next pull the reader along.
Explanation:
The myth of "Icarus" and his flight to the sun bringing his fall from the sky is a story we are all familiar with. It was this story that gives us the lesson of not going beyond what is dictated or not to be too curious or greedy.
Stephen Dobyns' version/ poem of the same myth presents the same case, but the only difference is that he presents the other possibility or other nature of the flight. For him, the escape doesn't merely mean an escape from the island or captivity, but it also signals the realization of what freedom is and to what extent it is available. For him, it was <em>"a great uplifting"</em>, <em>"fly[ing] precisely to the point of wisdom"</em>.
This unstructured and unusual pattern of poetry, the way the sentences are pulled along to the next stanza, without much punctuation makes the reader eager to keep reading. It <u>entices and arrests the reader's interest, pulling us along until the end.
</u>
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
