Mirikitani's "Attack the Water" relates to Rukeyser's "Poem" because they both focus on what civilians experience during wartime. "Attack the Water" describes the struggle of Vietnamese people living during (and after) the Vietnam War, and of Japanese-Americans in the era of Japanese Labor camps. "Poem" reflects on the struggle of people living during both of the World Wars, trying to get by and to get through such a tragic time. Both of these poems show that even when people are not involved directly in a war, war can still have an immense impact on their lives.

Answer:
The new clients are not responding to our new product the way we had hoped. frankly, I'm hardly beside myself with last month's sales.
Explanation:
First, we must understand the context before we can choose an appropriate answer. <u>The speaker is talking about something bad: customers not responding (not buying) the new product. He/She also mentions that last month's sales have already been bad.</u> This context, therefore, asks for an idiom that conveys a negative idea.
We can eliminate options A and C, since they both convey a positive feeling. We are left with options B and D. Option D, down in the dumps, means sad. <u>Option B, beside myself, means shocked or upset. The speaker is saying he/she is hardly... because of last month's sales. In that case, the best option is B. beside myself. What the speaker means is that, because last month was so bad, he/she is not even surprised or shocked to see the current response to the new product.</u>
