<span>B."Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply let the chips fall where they may."
This is the counterclaim, but the author continues to show how it's not a good idea to completely go the other way, that children will notice if their parents give up and might think they don't care about their future.</span>
After reading the poem "Sea Rose" by Hilda Doolittle, we can answer the questions in the following manner:
Part A
3. The sea rose, even with its acrid scent, is more endearing than the traditional rose.
Part B
1. "more precious / than a wet rose / single on a stem-"
- In her poem "Sea Rose," Hilda Doolittle praises the qualities of a sea rose over those of a regular rose.
- We all know roses: how beautiful and fragrant they are. They are often associated with love, tenderness, and softness.
- The sea rose, on the other hand, is "marred", "harsh", "meagre".
- It does not look as good as the regular rose, but there is where its beauty and importance lie.
- The sea rose is strong - it has survived a great ordeal. Nature itself has beaten it, "flung" and "caught" it.
- The sea rose, with all its flaws, ends up being more precious than other roses.

The two sentences from the story's introduction that best support the answer to part A in "Once Upon a Time" are:
D. "I have no burglar bars, no gun under the pillow, but I have the same fears as people who do take these precautions." (Paragraph 5)
F. "I couldn't find a position in which my mind would let go of my body - release me to sleep again. So I began to tell myself a story, a bedtime story." (Paragraph 8)
- "Once Upon a Time" is a short story by Nadine Gordimer in which she contrasts the innocence of children's books and bedtime stories with the tragedy that results from fear.
- The narrator - most likely Gordimer herself - cannot go back to sleep after waking up to strange noise in her house.
- The bedtime story she tells herself to go back to sleep, however, is far from innocent and uplifting.
- It is about the awful reality of Apartheid; about how people, desperate for security amidst the riots and thefts, locked themselves behind bars in their own homes.
- The bedtime story the narrator tells herself is one of fear and violence caused by injustice and prejudice.
- With that in mind, we can choose options D and F as the best answers. They mention the precautions of those people who crave security and the comfort of a bedtime story.
