Answer:

Explanation:

The most likely explanation of what happened in the scene before is that the boy's mother was killed by the husband and in a fight to stay alive she put up a fight. This fight created the loud crashes, but sadly she lost the fight as well as her life. We can infer this because Mrs. Owens says when her figure appears in the graveyard "..Freshly dead by the look of her."

Man Jack is most likely the man that killed the mother of the boy. He is looking for the boy so that he can "eliminate" him and hide the evidence and then leave town, also leaving no evidence of a crime, doing this so he get quickly leave town, not get caught, and if he does get found out he will be far away from the crime scene and inevitably become untraceable

I hope this helps you.

In the final stanza, the poet uses words such as “spice” and “acrid” to appeal to the reader’s
hodyreva [135]
If this is about H.D.'s poem "Sea Rose", then the answer is the olfactory sense (sense of smell).

In the last stanza, we've got the second contrast in the poem (the first one was "a wet rose single on a stem"): a "spice rose", which is a particular kind of rose, very lavish and beautiful. "Acrid fragrance" is a unique feature of the sea rose that the speaker talks to, and she doubts that this spice rose can have it. In other words, even though the sea rose is "harsh" and "marred", atrophied, destroyed by the sand and the winds, it still has a more distinct and beautiful smell (even though it is acrid) than a regular, nurtured, home-grown rose.
