zhenek [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Dickinson uses dashes to fragment language and to cause unre-lated words to rush together. They help clarify by bringingwords together and enabling you to use context clues

2. The story’s name is “ Because I couldn't stop for death” but it says that she pauses at a house.

7. She uses the term soul because she excluded herself from society. In a way, the theme was busy, because in the poem “because I could not stop for death”, takes the time to do what she cannot and stops for her.

8. with respect to the carriage”, the carriage driven by death is not literally a carriage but rather a metaphor for life's journey that ends in death and of passing of life.

Answer: learning without knowing without room to learn how to know myself to be myself

Explanation:

A. I sit in my crunched-in restraining desk, they call it with my paper and my pen.

B. and I am supposed to see the blackboard around the tall boy in front of me.

C. but my head won’t translate this language log base b of a squared carbon monoxide reacting with phosphorus

D. learning without knowing without room to learn how to know myself to be myself

Since the excerpt expresses the theme that it can be difficult to know yourself and your place in the world, the excerpt from "To Live" that expresses the same theme is option D.

Option A is something related to sitting on a chair. Option B is incorrect as well as it rather explains seeing the blackboard. Option C is incorrect as it explains learning a subject. Option D is the correct answer as it explains that one doesn't really learn to know themselves since more time is spent in the classroom.
