Hope is the thing is the answer
The correct answer is 4: The speaker implores God to use violence to break him so that he can be made new.
In this Holy Poem 14, “Batter my Heart”, by John Donne, the poet is addressing God directly and he is implying that the usual way God enters into everybody’s life is not enough for the poet. The poet does not need gentle manners: to knock, to shine, to mend.
On the other hand, in order to let God get into his life, he needs a tough hand: to force, to brake, to blow and burn. This is likely because the poet might consider his soul and heart are too corrupt for such gentle ways.
The paradox, or apparently contradictory idea, here is to attach God such a violent behavior.
Answer:
Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts.
Explanation:
The piece of evidence that best supports this claim is "Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts".
Actually, who are the taxpayers? They are private citizens, corporations and foundations. That means if the government is using taxpayers' money to fund arts, indirectly it means that the billions of dollars spent each year to support arts are the monies of the private citizens, corporations and foundations. This then means that these private citizens, foundations and corporations are actually the ones supporting the arts through the taxes they pay.
The great feeling in summer is absolutely immeasurable, the gleaming light from the sun right on my glasses(sight), the calm ringing sound of the birds singing a melody in my ear.(sound)
