The metaphor compares tea with the entirety of the British empire. It starts by saying that 'tea' should be banished and should go back to Britain "where gold enslaves", meaning where money rules all. The song becomes more broad and loses the specific relation to tea, while attacking Britain's strategy of rule, comparing Americans to being enslaved on a "yoke" (treated like cattle). The final stanza loses the metaphor and is an explicit call to action for everyone to stand up and fight for their freedom.

Which of the following sentences has correct subject-verb agreement?
marshall27 [118]

Answer: d. When he first enters the banquet hall, Macbeth appears cheerful.

Explanation: Subject-verb agreement means that the verb and the subject must agree in number, this means that if the subject is singular the verb needs to be also singular, and the same applies when the subject is plural. We must be careful with the final "s" in the verbs conjugated in the third person of singular (he, she, it). In the given sentences the option "a" is incorrect because the subject is "Lady Macbeth" (she) so the verb should be "walks", in the option "b" the correct it should say "Banquo, not Fleance, is killed" because the subject is singular (Banquo), the option "c" should be, "Fleance, without Banquo, escapes" (because the subject is Fleance), and the correct answer is "d" because it says "he first enters" and "Macbeth appears".
