Answer:
D. The speaker, having experienced adversity, regards hope in a positive light, as it
never asked anything of him/her
Explanation:
This question refers to Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope Is The Thing With Feathers".
In the poem, the author uses metaphor, or, more precisely, extended metaphor to compare hope to a bird. Sweet singing of the bird can be heard even in the biggest storms which suggests that hope is always there, even in the hardest periods in life.
The last stanza tells us that the bird can be seen everywhere (the chilliest land and the strangest see) but it (the bird) never asks for anything of us, not a single crumb.
That means that it's not an effort to hope for something, it doesn't cost us anything, it doesn't make us a problem. One should always hope and the bird will forever sing to us, not asking for anything in return.
Answer:
D). Iron Metal work.
Explanation:
Early agricultural life was dominated by a number of innovations like the invention of wheel that began transportation of humans from one place to another, pottery for storing grains, weaving, tools made of stone and wood, etc.
As per the question, 'iron metal work' would not be categorized as an innovation of early agricultural life as it began during late 11th century BC much later than the early agricultural life. Early agricultural life was highly commanded by domestic activities like farming, pottery, weaving, etc. and therefore, the innovations too were accordingly. Early people gradually discovered metals and learnt to use them later with time. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
A) Nature, in the form of the incoming tide, startles the speaker with its menace, anger, and strength.
Explanation:
Based on the excerpt from “I started Early—took my dog”, it is described by the speaker that he is moved by no man but he became aware of the tide when it started to rise over his body, threatening to eat him up.
The speaker is so moved by the tide because Nature, in the form of the incoming tide, startles the speaker with its menace, anger, and strength as it begins to rise and threaten to swallow him up.
