Based on context clues, which meaning of the word trace is most likely used

English
1 answer:
zzz [600]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The meaning of the word "trace" in the sentence is:

A. (verb) 2. To study by going back over a progression step-by-step.

Explanation:

Since the word "trace" as used in the sentence is a verb, we can already eliminate options B and D. The sentence does not talk about the action of drawing something by following an outline of a shape. Instead, it talks of being able to find out information by going back, a step at a time. That is what we do when we study our ancestry. We go further and further back, finding members of our family that are more and more distant from us. Having that in mind, we can easily choose letter A as the best option:

A. (verb) 2. To study by going back over a progression step-by-step.

Choose one poetic element that Dickinson uses in either "This is my letter to the world", or "Because I would not stop for Death
Pavel [41]

In both poems, the poetic element that stood out to me the most is the use of personification.

In "This Is My Letter To The World," nature is personified as being able to speak, "The simple news that Nature told"(3) Dickinson states that she cannot see what was told, but asks that the countrymen do not judge her regardless.

In "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" she applies personification to death, who appears to be the driver of a carriage, arriving to take the speaker into the afterlife.

"Because I could not stop for Death -

He kindly stopped for me -" (1-2)

Dickinson's speaker is describing her experience with death. In the opening stanza, she was too busy for death - but Death had enough time for her - and was civil enough to stop .

"We slowly drove – He knew no haste

And I had put away

My labor and my leisure too,

For His Civility –"

Death's "civility" caused her to drop everything that occupied her time before his visit, and she enjoyed the carriage ride instead.
