Read the passage, "How the Golden Carp Learned to Fly" and answer questions 1-4 1. Which statement BEST summarizes the passage?
kicyunya [14]

Hello. You forgot to show the excerpt to which this question refers. The excerpt is:

Alongside the ocean in the mouth of a wide river lived a school of carp in many colors—blue and gray, white and red—and the leader of them all was a carp of a rich golden color, with scales that glistened in the sunlit waters. The golden carp had lived in that harbor all her life and watched with concern as the human port town grew thick and dense like riverweed. People dredged the bottom of the river to make way for massive ships and developed a taste for carp. They cast down their terrorizing twine nets over the sides of their ships, eager to feast upon what they considered a delicacy. With a heavy heart, the golden carp determined it was time to search for safer waters, for it was early spring and time for her to find a hidden place to lay her eggs. Some carp objected to leaving the only home they had ever known, fearing unknown dangers more than their enemies at hand, but the golden carp was determined.  

The golden carp led the school through the wide, deep body of the river city. “Don’t look back,” she told them. “Swim upstream at all costs, as fast as you can.” She hoped against hope that beyond a bend in the river, they would find a safer haven, for their very future depended upon it. Farther upstream, the river narrowed and there were no longer any ships—only small fishing boats from a nearby village. Most carp felt relieved, but the golden carp urged them to press on. “There are still too many hungry people living near these waters for my comfort.” Some carp agreed, but many more elected to stay behind, and most ended up served on plates with grated radish and a splash of soy sauce.  

Muscles aching, tailfins flapping, the golden carp and her stalwart companions swam on. Their bodies and minds were tired as they swam higher and higher upstream, fighting against the current, into the foothills. Here, too, they were hunted, surrounded by the fishing rods and reels of country farmers. Around a bend they heard the thudding rush of water churning and saw that they had come to the foot of a towering waterfall. The golden carp saw the jagged rocks above, judged that no humans could live above the water line, and set her sights on leaping to the top where she knew she and her eggs would be safe. She swam and leapt as high as she could, but it was not high enough. Undaunted, she attempted her jump again and again until she shot into the sky and landed in a pool of water at the top, where she laid her eggs. The fish who remained below claimed the golden carp was magical and had turned into a flying dragon. They argued it was useless to try and shrugged their fins. But the few who kept trying eventually joined her, and they and their offspring lived there at the top for many generations in perfect safety.

Answer:

A school of carp struggles to find a new home far away from the dangers of humans.

Explanation:

The text shown above shows a region where the carp felt threatened by the presence of human beings, who seemed to be increasingly prominent in the place.

Because of this threat, some carp decide to form a school and migrate to other environments where they can live safely.

The journey that carp face is not easy and makes them go through many difficulties, until they find a place where they can live in peace and security.

Which two lines in this excerpt from the poem "Consumption" by William Cullen Bryant reflect the theme of the poem? (The word co
lozanna [386]

“Consumption” by William Cullen Bryant describes the imminent death of a tuberculosis patient and her way to heaven.

The poem starts with the speaker describing the imminent death of the person to whom this poem is spoken. She is going “for the grave,” really shortly and there is nothing she can do about it. He knows that her death is close because of the light in her eyes. It is so bright he knows there’s no way it can continue for long. No one can maintain that level of brightness.

He continues on to tell her, hoping to make her see the hopelessness of her situation, and turn her to God, that there is no medicine either from the fields or minerals that can save her. She will be better off if she commits herself to God’s hands at this point.

The speaker’s tone softens when he turns to describing how she will leave for heaven. It will not be harsh, painful or in any way disturbing. God and “Death” will take her as a bud is broken from a branch by the wind.

In the final lines he asks her to “Gently” close her eyes and remember that God will see him, and all those who care about her, come together in heaven.

This is the poem:


<em>Ay, thou art for the grave; thy glances shine </em>

<em>Too brightly to shine long; another Spring </em>

<em>Shall deck her for men’s eyes—but not for thine— </em>

<em>Sealed in a sleep which knows no wakening. </em>


<em>The fields for thee have no medicinal leaf, </em>

<em>And the vexed ore no mineral of power; </em>

<em>And they who love thee wait in anxious grief </em>

<em>Till the slow plague shall bring the final hour. </em>


<em>Glide softly to thy rest then; Death should come </em>

<em>Gently, to one of gentle mould like thee, </em>

<em>As light winds wandering through groves of bloom </em>

<em>Detach the delicate blossom from the tree. </em>


<em> Close thy sweet eyes, calmly, and without pain; </em>

<em> And we will trust in God to see thee yet again. </em>


The theme of the Poem is the inevitability of  being consumed by Death, and the lines that best reflect that theme are:

<u><em>Glide softly to thy rest then; Death should come </em></u>

<u><em>Gently, to one of gentle mould like thee, </em></u>
