The option which best describes what the speaker sees in the "days ahead" is:

A. the fall of America.

This question refers to the poem "America" by Jamaican-American author <u>Claude McKay</u>, more specifically to lines 11 to 14, in which the speaker addresses the fall of America:

<em>"Darkly I gaze into the </em><em>days ahead</em><em>,</em>

<em>And see her might and granite wonders there,</em>

<em>Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,</em>

<em>Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."</em>

  • What the speaker means is that he sees the fall of America in "the days ahead." Throughout the poem, the speaker talks of his bittersweet relationship with America. His feelings are somewhere between love and hate or resentment.
  • Although he can see America's wonders, beauty, and potential, he can also see its flaws - the prejudice, the corruption.
  • <u>In conclusion</u>, the speaker believes America's fate is a bad one. In the future, the country will fall.

2. What literary device does Shakespeare use to develop Helena's character?

- METAPHOR

Based on the lines, metaphor was used because Helena's character wishes to follow Demetrius likened to a dog (spaniel). Just like a dog, even if the master hurts or hits him, he will still remain loyal and true. Just like Helena's devotion to Demetrius.


3. what is most ironic about Lysander's last words before he falls asleep?

- Lysander tells Hermia that he hopes he dies before his loyalty to her ends. This is ironic because his loyalty will end as he sleeps when Puck does him with the love potion.


4. What is an example of dramatic irony is this Act?

-Bottom is unaware that his head has been transformed into a donkey's head. The audience knows that he has a donkey's head, but he has no idea!

Bottom thought that the other characters has been playing a trick on him so he cannot continue with his performance as Pyramus.


5. What do these lines reveal about Helena?

- She distrusts Demetrius and Lysander's feelings for her.

Helena has always considered herself inferior to Hermia. She knows that the one guy she likes is in love with Hermia. That's why she cannot trust her feelings when Lysander and Demetrius came courting her.

ivolga24 [154]

The correct answer is: “That God has taken his sight, but has returned Jane to him”. Here is the book's quote:

"And there is enchantment in the very hour I am now spending with you. Who can tell what a dark, dreary, hopeless life I have dragged on for months past? Doing nothing, expecting nothing; merging night in day; feeling but the sensation of cold when I let the fire go out, of hunger when I forgot to eat: and then a ceaseless sorrow, and, at times, a very delirium of desire to behold my Jane again. Yes: for her restoration I longed, far more than for that of my lost sight. How can it be that Jane is with me, and says she loves me? Will she not depart as suddenly as she came? Tomorrow, I fear I shall find her no more."
