Read the last line of the poem “One, Two, Three” and the biographical information about Hannah Senesh, and then answer the quest

ion that follows. I gambled on what mattered most, the dice were cast. I lost. Hannah Senesh joined the British Army in 1943, and would volunteered to enter Hungary in an effort to provide aid to the Jewish communities that were under attack. The Hungarian police almost immediately captured her, and she underwent cruel torture as they attempted to obtain information from her about her mission. However, Senesh refused to tell them anything, and refused to request clemency. Even threats against her mother did not compel her to cooperate with the Hungarian police. She remained courageous and committed to her cause, and when she was executed for treason by firing squad at the age of twenty-three, she refused the blindfold and instead stared down her executors. Based on the biographical information about Hannah Senesh, what inference could be made about the "gamble" referred to in the last line of the poem? Include information from the biographical excerpt to support your inference.

Answer:

written below

Explanation:

Because Hannah called her decision a gamble, we can infer that Hannah knew that her decision to leave everything behind and fight for her cause could end in her death. She knew that it might be death and she accepted that. There is nothing better to die for than for something you believe in. To most people dying for something that isn't fame, money, or power, and is in actuality dying quite young it is psychotic. To Hannah it was effortless and it inspires so many to do the right thing no matter what!

Which of the following correctly describe biographical details of George Gordon Lord Byron? Select all that apply.
Lynna [10]

Answer:

1. Born with a clubfoot.

2. He came into his inheritance at the age of ten.

4. Many of his contemporaries, with the notable exception of Shelley, disliked the man and his work.

Lord Byron was a British poet, peer, politician and one of the most important figures in the Romantic movement. Byron was a good friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley, fellow poet, and his wife, Mary Shelley, author of <em>Frankenstein</em>.

Byron was also born with a clubfoot, and inherited great fortune and land early on. The incorrect statement, however, is the third one. Byron's title was inherited from his great uncle, the "wicked" Lord Byron, when he passed away in 1798. This made him the 6th Baron Byron of Rochdale and owner of Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire.
