English

Answer:

A. Death.

Explanation:

Gary Soto's poem "The Tempest 4.1.156-8" is a reference to William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". But Soto used this play and gave it a slight twist, with the poem leaning towards the theme of death.

The use of the phrase<em> "eternal sleep"</em> in the second line of the poem is suggestive of death, the eternal sleep of a person. Soto, like Shakespeare, believes that we are not to be in this world forever. He states <em>"We are such stuff... rounded with a sleep"</em>. Then he continues with the line<em> "but before this eternal sleep"</em>, suggesting the scene where <em>"our loved ones look away"</em> to not see us die before their eyes.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which translations would fit in the blank in order to most effectively link reasons to evidence A: for example
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The correct answer is option A ("For example").

When supporting any kind of argument, presenting evidence is always a great way of strengthening the reasoning for backing up a certain position. T<u>he phrase </u><u>"for example"</u><u> is commonly found as a way to introduce or link factual evidence to a previously stated argument.</u>

"Similarly" or "on the other hand" would be most commonly used to establish a comparisson; while "however" would point towards a counter-argument.


Hope this helps!
