C. Marcia was envious when Gabby got a new car for her birthday.

In the examles, the only one showing this is when Marcia ia envious of Gabby, she wished she has her possession (care), etc.

Fun fact: Jealousy is sometimes used when envious should be :D

(although they are quite similar, to be jealous can also means "fiercely protective or vigilant of one's rights or possessions" and jealousy is the act of being envious, it's kind of confusing

Read the poem.
Anton [14]

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.
