The correct answers are B. Happy dagger and E. Timeless end
Explanation:
In literature, an oxymoron refers to a literary and rhetorical device in which two or more words with contradictory or opposite meanings are placed together in order to create a complex concept or show the paradox of some situation. Additionally to this, in the case of Shakespeare works including "Hamlet" and "Romeo and Juliet" it is common to find combinations of two words or phrases that include oxymoron.
This can be seen in the excerpt from Act V, scene III of "Romeo and Juliet" in the words "happy dagger", because the word "dagger" had a negative connotation and therefore linking it to the word "happy" seems contradictory, and in the words "timeless end" because the word "timeless" means eternal, but the word "end" means there is a limit of time. This means the phrases from the passage that are oxymorons are "happy dagger" and "timeless end" considering in these sentences two contradictory words are placed together which is exactly what oxymorons are about.
Answer:
The statement that best describes the theme of "A Day for Wandering" is:
B. The country is better than the city because it is more beautiful.
Explanation:
"A Day for Wandering" is a poem by author Clinton Scollard. The speaker of the poem talks about the day he spent in nature, away from the city. It was just that one day, though. The speaker does not talk of a total and complete decision to leave the city and stay in the country for good. It was a day the speaker "set apart for wandering".
<u>To the speaker's eyes, the country is more beautiful. While the city has "brawls and bruit", the country has voices from invisible throats, small animals effortlessly living their lives, with no worries or cares. The speaker seems to be merely observing and admiring nature. He's not trying to make sense of it. He is not judging life, struggling to understand its meaning, feeling small before the universe. He's simply existing along with nature and its beauty. We can, therefore, safely choose letter B as our answer: The country is better than the city because it is more beautiful.</u>
