When I think of Gothic, I don't think of anything positive, so A would definitely not be it. The same thing with B. Anything with beautiful, sparkling, bright and colourful things just doesn't scream goth.

For C, I could see where it would be going with using a jail yard as a setting, but since the answer specifically says on a sunny afternoon, then I don't think that would be correct either. When people think sunny, they usually think happy.

I think D would be most accurate. It doesn't seem like it would have any positive attributes, and it would probably even make some people uneasy.

So yeah, I'm not 100% sure, but this is the best I can do to figure it out. I think D would be the best choice! :)

Answer:

D. An abandoned mental hospital

Explanation:

When one thinks of the word "Gothic", the first thing that comes in mind is the gloomy, scary and eerie feeling it evokes to the readers. So, for a Gothic setting, an abandoned mental hospital will be the best example among the given options. A meadow filled with <u>flowers</u>, a <u>beautiful enchanted</u> forest or a jail yard on a <u>sunny </u>afternoon all gives a sense of positive vibes or feeling while the very term "Gothic" is meant to symbolize anything that is the opposite of anything that is positive or invokes happiness.

What is the best evidence that this poem is written in free verse? It has two stanzas. It has no set meter. It uses alliteration
motikmotik

Answer:

B)It has no set meter.

Free verse poetry does not have a set meter or rhyme scheme. It has no specific structure. Free verse poetry can have as many stanzas as the poet chooses so this is not a deciding trait. Free verse poetry can also use figurative language such as alliteration, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, metaphor, simile, symbolism, etc. These do not make it free verse. The same goes for repetition. Repeating words does not make a free verse poem free verse or not free verse.

o-na [289]

Answer:

The men were greatly saddened by the loss of their friends.

Many of Odysseus's men did not escape with their lives.

Explanation:

Paraphrasing is the act of rewriting or re-expressing the meaning of a given passage but with the use of different words other than those used by the writer in the original text. This technique allows the readers to understand the passage or text more, and with the use of new and added words, the paraphrase will summarize the whole passage for a better understanding.

The given passage from Homer's "The Odyssey" talks of how the men in their ships go on with their sailing. The main points of the passage are how the deaths are dealt with, and how many men were killed by the Cicones. So, in the paraphrase, the key details should be that many of Odysseus' men were killed. This led to the remaining men to be greatly saddened by the loss of their friends.
