Answer:
The statement that best describes the theme of "A Day for Wandering" is:
B. The country is better than the city because it is more beautiful.
Explanation:
"A Day for Wandering" is a poem by author Clinton Scollard. The speaker of the poem talks about the day he spent in nature, away from the city. It was just that one day, though. The speaker does not talk of a total and complete decision to leave the city and stay in the country for good. It was a day the speaker "set apart for wandering".
<u>To the speaker's eyes, the country is more beautiful. While the city has "brawls and bruit", the country has voices from invisible throats, small animals effortlessly living their lives, with no worries or cares. The speaker seems to be merely observing and admiring nature. He's not trying to make sense of it. He is not judging life, struggling to understand its meaning, feeling small before the universe. He's simply existing along with nature and its beauty. We can, therefore, safely choose letter B as our answer: The country is better than the city because it is more beautiful.</u>

From the 1750s on, sugar transformed how Europeans ate. Chefs who served the wealthy began to divide meals up. Where sugar had previously been used either as a decoration (as in the wedding feast) or as a spice to flavor all courses, now it was removed from recipes for meat, fish, and vegetables and given its own place—in desserts. Dessert as the extremely sweet end to the meal was invented because so much sugar was available. But the wealthy were not the only ones whose meals were changing. Sugar became a food, a necessity, and the foundation of the diet for England's poorest workers.
It indicates that the addition of sugar was a significant change to Europeans' diets.

<span>If a poet wanted to draw upon a theme most
people are already familiar with, the poet would need to consider what is
universal among humanity. When we think about
what is common to people some possibilities are that we know that everyone is
born, everyone must eat, everyone must sleep, and everyone dies. With that in mind the poet might consider
drawing upon birth, hunger, sleep, or death.
