The correct answer is: Option D. By referencing an ancient custom throughout her poem and expressing the sorrow it causes, the speaker makes the argument that it is time for India to change and develop its own modern identity.


The author poetically describes the physical appearance of women under the veil of this custom - focusing on the concealment of their faces.

It is depicted how other people are afraid to rebel against this tradition by lifting these veils in the verse "But though no hand unsanctioned dares...", and the author explicitly demonstrates the sorrow this inaction causes on her with the verses "And Sorrow looks into her face..." and "Or shield a woman's eyes from tears?"

Which statement most accurately paraphrases lines 71-72 of "The Wanderer'?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The statement that most accurately paraphrases the lines is:

A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?

Explanation:

When we paraphrase, we reword the ideas expressed by someone. We do not change the ideas, nor do we summarize. We say the exact same thing, but with different words. Let's take a look at what is being said here:

<em>What knowing man knows not the ghostly, </em>

<em>Waste-like end of worldly wealth</em>

The lines above are questioning something. They are asking, maybe in rhetorical way, what intelligent man does not know about how material wealth disappears in the end. The adjective "knowing" is the same as "knowledgeable" or "intelligent". And "waste-like end" means the wealth does not really value much. It disappears ("ghostly", like everything else.

With that in mind, we can easily see that letter A is the one conveying all those ideas:

A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:  The authors provide a primary-source quotation from a British abolitionist named William Wilberforce.

Explanation:  It takes some careful reading of the article to match the content of the article with the descriptions in the answer options.

The first option is misleading. The passage mentions "the new bill that would limit British involvement in the slave trade" but there is no detail.

The second option is also misleading. The passage mentions "economic force" but there is no detail.

The fourth option is misleading. The passage mentions "Bristol, a port city with a harbor filled with slave ships" but there is no summary of that article.

The path to the right answer is paying attention to the point of the question:  "to support the claim that many people joined the antislavery movement for moral reasons"

The correct answer refers to the sentence " William Wilberforce, another leader of the abolitionist cause, felt the new mood in his country. "God can turn the hearts of men," he marveled."  Infer that moral reasons are tied to the notion that God can change hearts.
