Answer:
B. to lend impact to the sonnet's conclusion.
Explanation:
The lines present in the question were taken from Shakespeare's Sonnet 130. <u>The two lines at the end, or the final couplet, are structured in a different way from the others because their purpose is to lend impact to the sonnet's conclusion. Throughout the poem, the speaker is "criticizing" the woman he loves. </u>While Petrarchan sonnets were usually used to elevate women to an impossible status, comparing them to natural elements and concluding that they were always more beautiful, Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 does the opposite. The woman is a normal one, not more beautiful, sweeter, nor better smelling than anything else. <u>Still, at the final couplet, after all that criticism, the speaker says he loves her. Not only does he love her, but he won't lie about her. He loves her for who she really is.</u>
The answer is B because of the comma after pockets and the correct spelling of the word "too".
Well, this phrase is to be interpreted with how you believe it would be. Let's break it down. Let's start with the beginning of our sentence; "Who with a single thwart." What does the word "thwart" mean.
Thwart: (verb) to prevent (someone) from accomplishing something.
So, we have this so far;
"Who with a single prevented blow."
Onto the next part, "Blow cleft asunder a brace"
Lets dive into the words "cleft" and "asunder."
Cleft: (adjective) split, divided, in two.
Asunder: (adverb) into pieces, apart
All together we now have; "Who with a single prevented blow split into pieces under a brace."
Lastly, we will define "of hulking blustering giants."
Lets break down this one more.
When I see the word "hulking" I think of the Incredible Hulk. So let's dive into that word, and the word beside it.
Hulking: (adjective) large, heavy, clumsy.
Blustering: (verb) talking aggressively, noisily
So now, we should have interpreted this as "Who with a single prevented blow split into pieces under a brace of large noisy giants."
Based on what we have rewritten this sentence, what do YOU think this means? I believe that they're talking about someone in comparison to the giants.
Have a great day :-)
