Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C) aba aba

Explanation:

To determine the rhyme scheme in a poem, we must look at the last word of each line. The last word of the first line is becomes the rhyme "a". When other last words sound similar to it, they are also "a". When they sound different, we give them other letters following the alphabet - b, c, d etc. - every time a new rhyme appears.

Let's analyze the excerpt given:

Do not go gentle into that good night, --> first last word, a

Old age should burn and rave at close of day; --> sounds different than night, b

Rage, rage against the dying of the light. --> rhymes with night, a

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, ---> a

Because their words had forked no lightning they --> rhymes with "they", b

Do not go gentle into that good night. --> a

Thus, the rhyme scheme in this excerpt is aba aba.

Read the excerpt from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death. " I know that I shall meet my fate Somewhere among the clouds above;
Elanso [62]

"An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" is a poem by William Butler Yeats whereas "Do not go gentle into that good night" is a poem by Dylan Thomas. Both these poems discuss the topic of death.

The above two excerpts differ in how they address the topic of death as can be seen in option D: The excerpt from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" reveals an acceptance of death, while the main idea in the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into the good night" is to fight death at all costs.

<h3>Comparison of the concept of death in above poems</h3>

Further description of the answer is as follows:

  • The poems above address the topic of death but the perspective of handling it is different.

  • In the first poem, the poet is talking about acceptance of the concept of death, whereas in the second poem, the poet urges to fight death until the last breath.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

As the title indicates the author of “cell phones for safety “ argues that students are safer with cell phones; therefore the sc
GuDViN [60]

I do not agree with the statement "the school ‘s current policy should be changed to allow students to carry them".

Students should use cell phones for :

i. additional learning outside their school curriculum,

ii. developing skills via watching tutorials on online etc,

iii. developing research skills by finding relevant information.

However, hardly few students use cell phones appropriately.The major chunk of students use mobiles in wrong ways, like, watching bad content, playing online games, passing time on social media. All such things decrease the productivity of the students & fill their mind with lot of un-necessary content.

Hence, I strongly feel, cell-phones should be banned in school. Also, their usage should be restricted at homes too.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Poor Richard's Almanac

Explanation:

So In Poor Richard's Almanac, I found that The calendar, weather, poetry, sayings, and astronomical and astrological information included in a regular almanac of the time were all included in the Almanack. Franklin also had the occasional mathematics exercise, and an early example of demography may be seen in the Almanack from 1750. The overall goal of Poor Richard's Almanack was to offer regular people inexpensive information. Ben Franklin aimed to strengthen the colonies' morale, financial standing, and virtue. His almanac served as a vehicle for disseminating such ideas, beliefs, and counsel.
