This is a physical description as it <em>fully depicts the place</em> that the character is passing by. For instance, he/she identifies meters ("about a hundred yards") and miles ("that was five miles wide".) He/she also describes the place: "a shallow lake," "full of rushes," "and ducks (...) in the season," "There was a slough or a creek leading out of it." This is a <em>setting</em> full <em>of physical details</em>.

Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who lived during Colonial America. Her poems reflected elements of her personal life. In this poem, her house has burned and she has lost all of her possessions. Read the last two stanzas (lines 43-54). How do these lines reflect aspects of her Puritan beliefs?

A) She relies on her own work ethic to build her another house.

B) She is so distraught that she wishes she had died in the fire.

C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.

D) She prays for an architect from town to come build her a new home.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.

Explanation:

In the last two stanzas of her poem "Verses upon the Burning of our House, July 10th, 1666", author Anne Bradstreet calls God the mighty Architect. She does not seem to repine over the house she has lost to the fire. Quite the contrary, she is faithful to the belief that her permanent home is the spiritual one waiting for her in heaven. That is a reflection of her Puritan beliefs. This world is nothing but a passageway for the next and most important one. She does not need to suffer over material losses because what truly matters is the spirit. As she says in the last line of the poem, "My hope and treasure lies above."

President Kenny explicitly stated that African Americans deserve the full rights of a Untied States Citizen. One main example can be the last sentence in the excerpt,"Now the time has come for this nation to fulfill its promise." To simplify, Kenndy is referring to Americans promise for all men to be created equal. Therefore the explicit meaning of this address is for African Americans to receive all of the right they deserve.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

To describe the most important ideas in Swift’s essay and explain his reason for writing.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes Swift's purpose for writing the essay "A Modest Proposal." In this text, Swift uses satire to describe a revolutionary, but most likely un popular idea: the fact that rich English people should buy poor Irish children in order to eat them. Swift argues that this will reduce the problem of poverty in Ireland. However, the text is a satire intended to criticize the way in which Irish people were abused by the English government.
