The correct answer is B. She does not want to dwell on something that cannot be changed.

Explanation:

"Daughter of Invention" is a short story by Julia Alvarez that tells the story of a Dominican Republic family that has to leave the country and immigrate to the U.S. which leads to different conflicts and obstacles as they try to begin a new life and adapt to a new culture. In the case of the excerpt presented the mother believes she had invented a suitcase with little wheels but she soon realized it was the invention of someone else, because of this she feels upset but then realize there is nothing she can do about the situation and because of this she tells to her daughters "There is no use trying to drink spilt milk, that's for sure" which means the mother will not waste time in some situation that cannot be solved or change instead she will  spend her time in more important issues she is concerned about. This means, in this excerpt the mother Laura means to express to her daughters "she does not want to dwell on something that cannot be changed".

KiRa [710]
The correct answer is dactylic monometer.
The word bumblebee has three syllables: bum - ble - bee. This means that the only correct answer can be dactyl, because trochee and iamb deal with words which have two syllables. Dactyl has to do with words which have three syllables, where the first one is accented, and the following two are not, as is the case here.

Her review of the play revealed her clever _____ when the drama critic simply stated, “If you don’t knit, bring a book.”
diamong [38]

Answer:

When somebody uses knowledge to apply to useful ideas  quickly, we say that person is clever;  now when that clever person is able to associate words and ideas gracefully in a way that conveys confidence, understanding and even humor, we say that person is witty, or has wit.

That statement was funny and mindful, thereby:

<em>"Her review of the play revealed her clever </em><em>wit</em><em>"</em>

Samuel Johnson was first to point out the similarities in style and content of some poets of the Jacobean and Carolinian periods
Vaselesa [24]
Metaphysical poetry in the seventeenth century broke away from conventions of lyrical poetry. The difference is apparent in the choice of cacophonousimagery...

Johnson put five poets in this category: John Donne, Andrew Marvel, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, and Henry Vaughan. However, they never worked as an organized literary movement. They didn't even read each other. It is only today that we can consider them akin.

As for cacophonous imagery, it was one of their foremost characteristics. The word choices and similes would often be shocking and unusual, not just for their own time but even later. For example, comparing two lovers' souls with two compasses in Donne's A Valediction Forbidding Mourning.
