This question is missing the poem. I found the complete question online. Since the question and the options are the same, I will omit them:

Pipe organs—dusty and tarnished—

Bellowed the ancient song,

As movers carried the pews

For one last time.

Frozen branches—heavy with ice arms— 5

Couldn’t perform their dance,

As workmen shuffled inside

The worn-out floors.

Sally Richards—broken and mourning—

Watched while her father left, 10

As painters brought in their cans

For the first time.

Stained-glass windows—buckled and broken—

Surveyed commotion’s cause

As commerce won in the end 15

Yet one more time.

Reverend Richards—feeble and finished—

Cried as his exit was lost

On Christians who worshiped the dime;

A change of the times. 20

Answer:

The most accurate description of the poem is:

D. the first line of each stanza contains a noun which is followed by a descriptive phrase.

Explanation:

Let's single out the first line of each stanza below:

1. organs—<u>dusty and tarnished</u>—

2. Frozen branches—<u>heavy with ice arms</u>—

3. Sally Richards—<u>broken and mourning</u>—

4. Stained-glass windows—<u>buckled and broken</u>—

5. Reverend Richards—<u>feeble and finished</u>—

The underlined phrases in each line have the purpose of describing the noun that precedes them. For instance, the very first line is describing the pipe organs. We now know that they are dusty and tarnished which helps us visualize them better. Notice that a line with a noun followed by a descriptive phrase appeared at the beginning of each stanza, which makes letter D the correct.

On the other hand, not all stanzas contain internal rhyme, alliteration, or personification.

Fed [463]

x(angle1)+(3x-5)(angle 2)=143(sum of both angles).

x+3x-5=143

combine like terms: 4x-5=143

add 5 to both sides: 4x=148

divide both sides by 4: x=37

substitute for x: angle 1=37, angle 2= 106
