<u>Explanation:</u>

We can infer the meaning of this quote by considering the context of the statement. For example, a few lines before this quote, we are told by Alexis de Tocqueville,

<em>"He who has set his heart exclusively on the pursuit of worldly welfare is always in a hurry, for </em><em>he has but a limited time at his disposal to reach, to grasp, and to enjoy it."</em>

Hence, what the quote means is that man (i.e Gatsby), has an insatiable desire to enjoy what life can offer with the fear of dying in mind; despite the good things he already has.

Which line best paraphrases this excerpt from “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be”?
Nonamiya [84]

The line that best paraphrases the excerpt is  A.  And when I think that I’ll never see you again, beautiful creature (...).

To paraphrase is to express the meaning of something by rewording it in a different way. Both the excerpt and option A express the same: that the poet is considering the possibility of never looking at the beautiful "creature" again.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. Batter my heart, three-person'd God; for you As yet but knock; breathe, shine, a
OLEGan [10]
I assume that by aggressive verb you mean a verb which shows the most emotion - because there is no such thing as an aggressive verb in grammar. Anyway, based on that understanding, I believe the correct answer is 1. batter.
To batter means to hit hard over and over again, which to me shows a lot of aggression, which is why I'd choose that option. The other options do not show the same emotion.
