The poem seem to be celebrating the sight of a sun rising in the morning while mountain climbing. My answer for "part a" would be the first one (flowing light) because the 'yellow ribbons' represent the sun's rays. For "part b" my answer would once again be the first choice (It creates a powerful image of morning sunlight on the mountain range.) Because it the use of the phrase 'yellow ribbons cascade' is an emphasis of what the author deems a breath taking moment.
The following lines from the text, "How the Spaniards Came to Shung-opovi, How They Built a Mission, and How the Hopi Destroyed the Mission" best shows the narrator's point of view that the Spaniards were trying to change the religion of the Hope people are:
"<span>The missionary did not like the ceremonies. He did not like the Kachinas and he destroyed the altars and the customs. He called it idol worship and burned up all the ceremonial things in the plaza."</span><span>
</span><span>"When this mission was finally built, all the people in the village had to come there to worship, and those that did not come were punished severely. In that way their own religion was altogether wiped out, because they were not allowed to worship in their own way."</span><span>
</span>
Answer:
readers' prior knowledge the author's motivations for writing descriptions of time and place character motivation and plot
Explanation:
Imagists believed that poems should have "no ideas but in things." In other words, they would described powerful images, and instead of explaining what those images meant, they would let the reader decide what the meaning or value of those images might be.
Imagists were especially fond of inviting the reader to recognize how very different sorts of images can actually be really similar. Ezra Pound famously did this with his short poem "In a Station of the Metro," which associates "faces in the crowd" with "petals on a wet, black bough."
The poem in your question does something very similar by associating the cat's footprints in the snow with the blossoming flowers of a plum tree. The writer wants you to recognize the odd visual similarity of the footprints and the flowers, ideally to show how there's a kind of cosmic connectedness in the world by (because two very different things end up being really similar).
That's why I think your best answer is A.
