Answer:
Option B. The theme of "Ode to a Grecian Urn" is that beauty is eternal.
Explanation:
"Ode to a Grecian urn" is a poem written by the English poet John Keats in May 1818 and anonymously published on 1820 in an Art magazine. The central theme of the poem examines the eternity that beauty and truth holds and relates them to how our own lives are transcendent. For the speaker,it is through beauty that humankind connects to the truth, and how complex it is for us to comprehend that both concepts, truth and beauty, are indeed eternal while our existence is not. The speaker is not only meditating on beauty and its connection to art but at the same time is trying to understand the complex emotions that death awakens in him, and how inevitable it is.
Answer:
B. All South Africans share a connection to a beautiful land and have the opportunity for new beginnings.
Explanation:
Here's the excerpt you provided. I highlighted some key words that helped me arrive at B.
“Each time <u>one of us</u> touches the <u>soil of this land</u>, we feel a sense of <u>personal</u> <u>renewal.</u> The national mood changes as the seasons change.”
The author says that "All South Africans share a connection" by using the word "<em>us</em> " rather than "<em>I</em>." He talks about a sense of "<em>renewal</em>." Renewal is another word for rebirth or "new beginnings." Thus, choice B makes the most sense.
