This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

In the context of the poem, which image most fully reflects the speaker's disapproval of the neighbor's attitudes?

A. "gaps even two can pass abreast" (line 4)

B. "the boulders that have fallen" (line 16)

C. "He is all pine" (line 24)

D. "He moves in darkness" (line 41)

E. "the shade of trees" (line 42)

Answer:

I believe the image which most fully reflects the speaker's disapproval of the neighbor's attitudes is:

D. "He moves in darkness" (line 41)

Explanation:

The speaker in the poem "Mending Wall", by Robert Frost, is rebuilding a wall with his neighbor. However, he does not see the need for the wall. He believes the wall creates a separation and an isolation that are unnecessary.<u> He wishes he could convey such thoughts to his neighbor, but that seems to be impossible. His neighbor believes "Good fences make good neighbors." The speaker does not like this saying nor the neighbor's attitude. He would much rather at least consider what he is " walling in or walling out." That is why he sees the neighbor as if he is moving in darkness. His neighbor is not as enlightened as he is. He is close-minded; a repeater of old patterns</u>:

<em>He moves in darkness as it seems to me, </em>

<em>Not of woods only and the shade of trees. </em>

<em>He will not go behind his father's saying, </em>

<em>And he likes having thought of it so well </em>

<em>He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’</em>

How does popular opinion shape political policies? Mccarthyism

devlian [24]

<u>Answer</u>:

Political policies are indirectly a product of the public opinion. Any democracy elects the nominees as a representative who would cater to their needs and who work for a better and more developed society and living conditions. The political parties are there to formulate and execute public policies that would govern the people and the country itself. The public opinion is the one ingredient that is crucial to shape these policies. For instance, an educational policy will highly depend on the present need and the condition of the education system, the analysis of which would be closer to the reality only if based on public opinion. And hence<em> political policies are shaped by popular opinions.</em>

Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who lived during Colonial America. Her poems reflected elements of her personal life. In this poem

schepotkina [342]

Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who lived during Colonial America. Her poems reflected elements of her personal life. In this poem, her house has burned and she has lost all of her possessions. Read the last two stanzas (lines 43-54). How do these lines reflect aspects of her Puritan beliefs?

A) She relies on her own work ethic to build her another house.

B) She is so distraught that she wishes she had died in the fire.

C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.

D) She prays for an architect from town to come build her a new home.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.

Explanation:

In the last two stanzas of her poem "Verses upon the Burning of our House, July 10th, 1666", author Anne Bradstreet calls God the mighty Architect. She does not seem to repine over the house she has lost to the fire. Quite the contrary, she is faithful to the belief that her permanent home is the spiritual one waiting for her in heaven. That is a reflection of her Puritan beliefs. This world is nothing but a passageway for the next and most important one. She does not need to suffer over material losses because what truly matters is the spirit. As she says in the last line of the poem, "My hope and treasure lies above."
