Answer:

In line 7 of "This World", the phrase "bore into" means:

a) dig a hole in

Explanation:

"This World" is a poem by American author Mary Oliver in which the speaker shows admiration for everything around her. She says she would like to write about "a world that / has in it / nothing fancy," but that seems to be impossible. Every little detail is filled with wonder, with beauty.

<u>In line 7, the speaker says, "The ants bore into the peony bud and there is a / dark / pinprick well of sweetness." Although not very common, the verb "to bore" means "to dig or cut a hole". The speaker sees beauty even in the holes the ants cut open in the flowers.</u>

What is a vivid verb
asambeis [7]
A vivid verb is a verb that evokes more vivid imagery than a more general verb. It is generally more descriptive.

For example, you can say, "The boy walked down the street." If you want to make the picture even more vivid, however, you could say "The boy sauntered down the street." In this case, "sauntered" is a vivid verb.

Hope this helps! :)
