In Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story" readers witness how a pack of wolves kill "the human thing".
From the perspective of a mother, one may understand that it was a necessary thing to do rather than the right one. As we can see in the text itself, the "human thing" was behaving in a very aggressive manner, trying to attack and kill his own children with a branch from a tree. Being left with no other choice, wolves, being predators by nature, protected the cubs and killed the attacker thus depriving him of any chances to repeat his violent actions in future.
As humans, we detest murder as a way of punishment or revenge, but in the given story we deal with wolves, and such behaviour is understandable from their perspective, moreover, one can clearly see that this was done only for protection.
I have found the lines and the options for this question from another source. Allow me to paste them here.
LINES:
1. Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight, And burned is Apollo's laurel bough, That sometime grew within this learned man.
2. Swoll'n with cunning of a self-conceit, His waxen wings did mount above his reach, And melting heavens conspired his overthrow.
3. Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies!-- Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again. Here will I dwell, for heaven is in these lips, And all is dross that is not Helena. I will be Paris, and for love of thee,
OPTIONS:
A. Icarus and Daedalus (characters in Greek mythology who invented a way to fly)
B. The Trojan War
C. A symbol of fame and reward, belonging to the god of divination
LINE #1:
This line alludes to (C) a symbol of fame and reward, belonging to the god of divination.
Apollo, the god of divination, wears a laurel crown. This laurel is bestowed to those who were victorious or those who demonstrated honor. In ancient Greece, the laurel was also awarded to victors in athletic and poetic competitions. "Laurel" was explicitly mentioned in this line.
LINE #2
This second line refers to (A) Icarus and Daedalus, who were characters in Greek mythology who invented a way to fly.
"Waxen wings" alludes to the tragic tale of Icarus and Daedalus, where Daedalus tried to build wings made of wax for himself and his son, Icarus, to escape the island Crete. Unfortunately, Icarus flew too close to the sun that the wax melted and he descended to the sea where he met his death.
LINE #3
This line mentions Helen and Paris which were key figures of (B) the Trojan War.
The infamous abduction of Helen by Paris directly resulted into the decade-long Trojan War. Helen, who was then married to King Menelaus of Sparta, was influenced by Aphrodite to come with Paris to Troy. This greatly angered King Menelaus, who enlisted the help of the Greek army to get her back.
It calls attention to similarities between the seasons.
Answer: Option 4.
Explanation:
Parallelism examples are found in literary works as well as in ordinary conversations. This method adds balance and rhythm to sentences, giving ideas a smoother flow and thus persuasiveness, because of the repetition it employs.
It is used to help organize ideas, but also to make the ideas memorable. When a sentence is unintentionally cluttered, unbalanced, or lengthy, this is called faulty parallelism and should be avoided. The usual way to join parallel structures is with the use of coordinating conjunctions such as "and".
