3. Words from the poem that helped me answer the questions are;

the sun

Explanation:

In the poem <em>So Tired Blues,</em> by Langston Hughes, the poet was so tired that he wished that if he could grab the sun with his hands, he will throw it away, across the land, because he was really tired.

Based on the dictionary entry, what is the meaning of the word struck in this sentence? The earthquake that struck California me
Gelneren [198K]
The correct answer is the second option - <span>to occur unexpectedly and have destructive or harmful effects.
</span>Here, the word struck is just a past form of the verb to strike, meaning to happen unexpectedly and have dire consequences, like an earthquake can hit California, in this case. The final definition is a noun, and does not fit in the context of the original sentence.
