Answer:
The lines that best expresses the theme of the poem are:
A) "Oh, nefarious war! I see why arms /
Were so seldom used by the benign sovereigns."
Explanation:
<u>The poem "Nefarious War" describes the horrors of the Chinese battles against the Tartars and criticizes the fact that war accomplishes nothing.</u>
The lands of China are covered with corpses of fallen soldiers, their insides being eaten by birds, their horses crying woefully. After this awful description, the speaker states:
<em>So, men are scattered and smeared over the desert grass,
</em>
<em>And the generals have accomplished nothing.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Oh, nefarious war! I see why arms
</em>
<em>Were so seldom used by the benign sovereigns.</em>
<u>The poem is criticizing the uselessness of war. Its brutality brings nothing but pain and suffering. Benign sovereigns can see and understand that, which leads them to avoid engaging in war. Since they truly want their people to be happy, they do not send them to meaningless fights. Sovereigns who do not avoid war at all costs end up facing other costs - their people's lives and happiness.</u>
In the sentence:
My best friend wrote a funny poem about her pet rabbit.
The simple subject is 'friend'. Remember that a simple subject is the main word or words in a subject, so it does not include any of the modifiers that might describe, characterize or restrict the subject (in this case, the possesive 'my' and the adjective 'best')
Answer:
A. Children sometimes act out when they’re attempting to figure out who they are.
Explanation:
The short story "Charles" by Shirley Jackson tells the story of a young boy Laurie who makes up the character of Charles as a reason for the problem in school. He makes up his alter ego Charles to justify the acts done in school and most probably, his actions in school.
The story tells Laurie who would always tell stories of his friend Charles doing this and that, hitting others, disobeying the teacher, getting punished, etc. The narrator, being the mother of Laurie, was not impressed with her child's schoolmate. So, she decided to find out Charles' mother in an attempt to find out more about hi, only to be told that there is no Charles in the kindergarten. This seems to suggest to the bigger picture that children act out when they are attempting to figure out their own identity.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
