In her poem “The Fish,” Bishop describes her emotions when she catches a big fish and observes it carefully. The poet’s imagist style is found in her detailed description of the fish that she caught:
its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
shapes like full-blown roses
stained and lost through age.
Instead of using a specific rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality, Bishop uses literary devices, such as alliteration, to create rhythm in her poem:
still crimped from the strain and snap
She also creates a musical rhythm within the lines by using assonance:
frayed and wavering,
a five-haired beard of wisdom
trailing from his aching jaw.
I stared and stared
Are these the lines you were referring to?
<span>1)Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore
2)This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core
3)But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore
4)Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor
5)Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!"
The answer would then be 3 and 5.
The lines of choice 3 is referring to the velvet violet lining of the cushion where Lenore used to sit. He remembers that Lenore will no longer sit on that cushion again.
The lines of choice 5 on the other hand refers to the part where he was having delusions. The imaginary smell he supposed was nepenthe, which in mythology was a drink or a potion that helps one forget. He claimed it must be a scent sent by God to help him forget Lenore.

Explanation:
what is the answer choices? please
I looked this question up and found the complete version online. The research question is:
"Why do high school students no spend enough time doing physical activity every day?"
Answer:
The statement which is the best evaluation of the research question is:
A. It is too biased; this research question contains an opinion and cannot be answered through research.
Explanation:
The author of the research question states an opinion when he/she says that high school students do not spend enough time doing physical activity. We do not know if this is true, if it is a fact. Had the author stated the question is a different manner, perhaps even providing some data, then it may have had some factual validity. For example: "A new study shows that 95% of high school students only exercise once a week. What are the reasons behind that number?" That question would not be based on an opinion, but on a fact. It would be easier to come up with a research - an interview, for instance - that would actually find out the reasons why that happens.
