The repetition technique is usually used by poets to draw more attention to the idea and topic that they want to relay. In "There was a child went forth", the author uses the technique at the start and at the end of every stanza.  

This passage shows the transience of human life, because it shows how one person can pass from being one thing to another thing and then in death being surrounded by both. Julia was born as a Hersey and then when she got married she just 'became' a Gibbs because she married Doc Gibbs. This shows how easily a person can transition from one identity to the next. Then, when she dies, she transitions into the cemetery and in heaven would be surrounded by Gibbses and Herseys, not knowing which family she belongs to now. Passing back and forth in life and death shows how transient and fleeting the nature of life is.

This excerpt from the song “Revolutionary Tea” describes what historical event
IRISSAK [1]
By the name "Revolutionary Tea", (even though i have never heard of the song), i can imply a few things.

1) It happened during the Revolutionary war
2) It has to do with Tea

Next, we will look at the answer choices. The only reasonable one is The Boston Tea Party, as while it is before the Revolution, it is the only one that had to do with Tea (dumping of tea over into the Boston Harbor from the ships), and led to the Revolutionary war.

How does Balboa’s motivation affect the plot? Support your answer with evidence from the selection
jekas [21]

Answer:

Balboa's motivation is what allows your adventure to begin. This affects the story's storyline because it stops being a biography and becomes an adventure story, leaving the storyline more impolent and even positive, because the reader is enthusiastic about accompanying a character motivated to pursue his goals within of the holding.

Explanation:

Balboa is a briography of explorer Vasco nuñes de Balboa written by Sir Ronald Syme. In this biography, the explorer's great achievements and his objectives in relation to navigation, exploration and wealth are counted. Syme wrote the biography based on Balboa's motivation, which made the plot seem like an extremely exciting and thought-provoking adventure story.

Write two to three sentences that describe Thoreau’s viewpoint in this passage.
Deffense [45]
Thoreau's <em>overall</em> viewpoint was that it was in solitude with nature that a man could really learn to thrive. He argued that a life of luxury was an unnecessary one and that a man could easily make a living without even having to sweat if he would just strip his life of unneeded, materialistic items. I hope this helps, although I am not sure how to narrow this down seeing as your question is incomplete.
