D. Mom should be capitalized because I believe it is a proper noun.
You can replace the word mom with a person's name. That is not always the case however. For example, I called my mom on my.... If you capitalized mom in this sentence and put a name then it wouldn't make sense because the word my was added. Hopefully this helps and makes sense. Good luck!!!
Answer:
Part A: The statement which best describes the theme of the poem is:
C. Tragedy occurs both on the grand, collective scale and on the smaller, individual scale.
Part B: The quote which best supports the answer to Part A is:
B. "It solved by itself a math problem / that multiplied the one death by millions / to equal homeland." (Lines 37 - 39)
Explanation:
I found this question online; it refers to the poem "Bag of Bones" by Dunya Mikhail.
<u>The poem's theme concerns the death of many as well as the death of one. </u>One death will bring an impact with it - in the poem, it is the mother who lost her son. When a mass grave was dug up, she was able to find his remains, which brought back the memories of when he was alive as well as the feeling of loss and injustice - his death was the result of a dictatorship.
However, many more mothers are still there, at the grave, looking for their children. That one mother's tragedy is the same tragedy of many others. <u>What the dictator has done is ruin several individual lives which, when put together, results in a collective tragedy for millions.</u>
Marullus points out that if the Commoner is a carpenter, as he reports in line 6, he should not be out on the streets.
First there are the four lover characters: Hermia, Helena, Demetrius and Lysander. All four are head over heels in love and all four have something standing in the way of that love. Hermia and Lysander are in love but Hermia’s father Egeus doesn’t want them to marry. Instead he wants Hermia to marry Demetrius. Demetrius is in love with Hermia but she is not in love with him so even though he has Egeus’ support, Hermia refuses to marry him. Helena is Hermia’s friend and she is in love with Demetrius. But he does not return her feelings. All four spend the play trying to get their love to work out because being with the person they love is what is most important to them.
