Answer:
A). The haiku shares a distinct event in nature, while the romantic poem relays a personal experience with nature.
Explanation:
Haiku illustrates a short Japanese poem consisting of merely three phrases that usually contains a recurring reference to nature or surroundings that is inspiring. While Coleridge in "Frost at Midnight" demonstrates a personal experience with nature. In his poem(lines 52-59), he describes his son wandering the natural imagery that assists him to find a meaning that nature always mirrors the truth as describes nature as a preacher of significant lessons of life. The other options seem incorrect as in option B, the first phrase is correct but Coleridge has written this poem in blank verse that is free of metrical fardels while the other two options reflect an inappropriate claim.
A freedom security and peace are related ideas
Answer:
B. This remark tells us that much of humanity has lost its appreciation for earth and nature, to the point of resenting its mere appearance.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the short story entitled, "The Machine Stops." It focuses on two characters namely, <em>Vashti</em> and<em> Kuno (her son).</em> In the story, <u>people were living underground</u> and no longer on the surface of the earth. They were able to meet their needs through a global <em>Machine. </em>People were placed in<em> isolated rooms</em> where they communicated with other people through <em>instant messages and video conferences. </em>There were actually some people called the "homeless outcasts" who tried to live on the surface of the Earth.
Unlike her son<em>, Kuno</em>, who was interested to visit and know more about the surface of the Earth, <em>Vashti</em> was<em> "not interested in natural inspiration." </em>So, this explains her remark above. It shows<u> how much of humanity has lost their appreciation for earth and nature.</u> This is the extent to which the underground Machine did to people in the "poisoned darkness."
So, this explains the answer.
B. They employ figurative language
Both of these excerpts engage the reader by making the text come alive. The first employs a metaphor when it says "<span>In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry". This metaphor is comparing the heritage in his friend's writing to a tortilla which then he extends into comparing to their souls.
The second piece employs imagery and personification when he describes "</span><span>the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head", showing that the trees are coming alive to show his friend that they are part of his heritage.</span>
