The correct answer is D) The poem uses nontraditional syntax and rhyme scheme.

Explanation:

Modern poetry tends to use a different type of syntax and rhyme. The writer has the right to adopt the rhythm to the mood to modulate metric as he or she is writing. There are other elements that are really important in modern poetry such as the genre, the speaker, the setting, the tone, etc.

Based on the context of each excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams," choose the definition that most closely matches
brilliants [131]

Emphasize - Accentuated: As she took her stance for a short mashie shot, Dexter looked at her closely. She wore a blue gingham dress, rimmed at throat and shoulders with a white edging that accentuated her tan.

In this passage it is saying that the white edging of the dress made the darkness of her skin stand out. Emphasize means the same as stand out of accentuate.

Childish sulkiness or bad-temper - petulance: During dinner she slipped into a moody depression which gave Dexter a feeling of uneasiness. Whatever petulance she uttered in her throaty voice worried him.

She is described as being in a moody depression. This best fits with the definition of sulkiness or bad-temper.

Practical, Ordinary - mundane: "You're not. I like you. But I've just had a terrible afternoon. There was a man I cared about, and this afternoon he told me out of a clear sky that he was poor as a church-mouse. He'd never even hinted it before. Does this sound horribly mundane?"

Another word for mundane is ordinary. Mundane is used to give ordinary a more boring connotation.

Ok, so I'm going to try my best to answer this.

My best guess would be how he said that he was able to see his answer through whoever he is talking to, then lose it again. He understood and got something, then lost it's understanding. I sincerely hope this helps.. I'm sorry I'm not very good at explaining. ^^;
