Answer 1

Answer:

A) 'a sudden rush/of fortune'

c) 'Silver crashes to the ground'

Explanation:

A semantic field, can be conceptualized as a set of words, which are grouped to convey a single meaning, which allows a deeper understanding of the theme of the text.

In the poem "Blessing" written by Imtiaz Dharker we are presented with the importance of water in regions that have little access to it. The author shows how the amount of water is insufficient in some regions of India, which causes many difficult socioeconomic problems to be solved. The author also presents water as a wealth, a fortune, accessible to little, but necessary for many. This concept of wealth and fortune is presented through the semantic field, through the lines "A sudden rush / of fortune" and "Silver crashes to the ground."
