Read the excerpt from "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell. I think the following rules will cover most cases: (

i) Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. (ii) Never use a long word where a short one will do. (iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. (iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active. (v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. (vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything barbarous. Which best describes George Orwell’s purpose and the way he achieves it in this excerpt? Orwell’s purpose is to inform readers about political situations. He achieves this by providing a list of specific rules for writing simply. Orwell’s purpose is to inform readers about political situations.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The line is a metaphor for:

B. A life without dreams.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the poem:

<em>Hold fast to dreams </em>

<em>For if dreams die </em>

<em>Life is a broken-winged bird </em>

<em>That cannot fly. </em>

<em>  </em>

<em>Hold fast to dreams </em>

<em>For when dreams go </em>

<em>Life is a barren field </em>

<em>Frozen with snow.</em>

<em />

<u>As we can see above, in the first stanza the author compares life to a broken-winged bird after mentioning the death of dreams. What the author means is that a life without dreams is as purposeless as a bird that cannot fly. Dreams are what makes life worth living, what gives us a sense of purpose. Without them, there is no reason to go on.</u>
