Read the final paragraph of "How We Entered World War I." In April 1917 the illusion of isolation was destroyed. America came to

the end of innocence, and of the exuberant freedom of bachelor independence. That the responsibilities of world power have not made us happier is no surprise. To help ourselves manage them, we have replaced the illusion of isolation with a new illusion of omnipotence. That screen, too, must fall. Which best explains the purpose of repeating the word “illusion” in the paragraph?
A: to emphasize that the United States was never completely isolationist nor will it ever be all powerful
B: to mock the United States’ reasons for becoming involved in World War I
C: to highlight the fact that Wilson based his decisions on false ideas
D: to demonstrate that the United States’ sense of strength is a complete falsehood

Read this excerpt from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 93 and fill in the blanks in the paragraph. Whate'er thy thoughts, or thy he
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>1) The tone of the poem is bitter. This sonnet is about a forbidden love and the risk which author takes when he puts up with his feelings. He acknowledges that he can be judged by others, and that this love is a sin, but the feelings are far powerful than harsh reality. That's why the tone of the poem is bitter, as it is hard for author to resist his sinful thoughts.

2) He uses the simile of Eve’s apple, which symbolizes the deception concealed in attractive things. Simile is a figure of speech that is employed to express the comparison of one thing with another one. The author admits that he is attracted by the youth and appearance of the one he loves, and though he realises that it can bring lots of troubles forbidden fruit is the sweetest.
3) The poet contrasts the lady's beauty and her virtue to show that her beauty does not reveal her inner corruption. Shakespeare represents here a symbol of outward perfection but internal vice: the one he is in love with has a beautiful appearance, but she may be morally worm-eaten with vice.<span>
