The poem includes neoclassical elements such as elevated language and heroic couplets. The line "Fair Freedom now her ensigns bright displays" is an example of the elevated style of the poem.

I have looked this question up. It is about vocabulary. We should choose the best meaning for "superficial". The complete question is the following:
His neighbor's "superficial" remarks trivialized their argument over the line separating their properties and infuriated Winston.
A. enraged
B. insulting
C. petty
D. misleading
Answer:
The best option for the meaning of "superficial" as used in the sentence is:
C. petty
Explanation:
If we qualify something as being superficial, we mean it lacks depth. Thus, a superficial remark is a shallow, unimportant statement. In that sense, we can practically say that "superficial" and "petty" have the same meaning. "Petty" refers to something small, unimportant, insignificant. In the sentence we are analyzing here, someone's silly, unimportant remarks made someone else angry because they (the remarks) made the argument seem trivial.

Answer:
B
. by suggesting a conflict between humans and the environment
Explanation:
"Japanese Quince" tells the story of Mr. Nilson a hardworking man who has become so used to his job that enjoying his environment now seems strange. He gets up one day only to feel a sensation. He decides to have breakfast and take a look at new story headlines. This is an indication of his inclinations to business. To calm his tensed feelings, and get some air, he takes a walk but soon finds out that his tensed feelings and sensations remained unabated. Then he sees a Japanese Quince tree, and although he is excited to see it thriving, he is carried away by awkward thoughts of his neighbor who is also taking in the scenery. Finally, he goes back to his apartment only for the weird sensation to return.
The conflict with nature or the environment produces a strange feeling on Mr. Nilson thus making him consumed with thoughts instead of just enjoying the beautiful sights.
