<u>the tone</u> used in McNeil's oral history<u> is confessional</u> and <u>the purpos</u>e seems to be that by making simple, humble statements the narrator is able to <u>present his own morality and his struggles in statements and not as pleadings</u>.

Answer:
The correct answer is option D. The traveler.
Explanation:
In the sonnet "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, two narrators are introduced in the text. The identity of the first narrator is not revealed as it only refers himself as "I". The second narrator, which narrates most of the text in the sonnet, is a "traveler from an antique land" who speaks to the first narrator about what he has seen. Therefore, most of the story of "Ozymandias" is told by the traveler from an antique land.
Among the choices, letter B is the most complex. This is because it uses two clauses just to deliver its meaning. Jamming a lot of clauses in one sentence would cause the reader to be 'breathless'. A good sentence must be short enough to be read in one breath, but precise in meaning. One clause could be enough. If you want to add more information, you can use conjunctions or transition words. But do not overdo it.

2) She is being coy because they aren't married, and being sexually involved with him would stain her honor as a woman.
3) If they lived for eons, it would be OK for her to put him off. He would use the eons to love her from a distance. But their lives are short. Therefore, she should enjoy physical love with him.

5) "Like amorous birds of prey, rather at once our time devour" describes a fierce, active, physical love.
6) "Roll all our strength and all our sweetness up into one ball" suggests they should be so close they are one.
7) "Deserts of vast eternity" don't contain any physical satisfaction.
8) The sun stands for time. Time will pass and they will die; they have no control over that. This is expressed by "we cannot make our sun stand still".
9) The poet urges her to "carpe diem" or "seize the day".
10) Acting on physical desire means being truly alive for him.</span>
Answer: B) The rhyming words "fate" and "hate" connect the pilot's fate to his emotions.
Explanation: In the given excerpt from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" by William Butler Yeats we can see the rhyme pattern ABAB (the words from the lines 1 and 3: "fate" and "hate" rhyme, as well as the words "above" and "love" from the lines 2 and 4). The rhyming of the words "fate" and "hate" connect the pilot's fate to his emotions, so the correct answer is the corresponding to option B.
