Cite evidence in your answer.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?


Thou art more lovely and more temperate.


Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,


And summer's lease hath all too short a date.


Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,


And often is his gold complexion dimmed;


And every fair from fair sometime declines,


By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;


But thy eternal summer shall not fade,


Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,


Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,


When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.


So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,


So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

In the first eight lines or the first two quatrains of the Sonnet Eighteen Shakespeare compares the beauty of his beloved to the summer and all the natural forces that surround this season like “Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May” and “Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines”, however, in the last quatrain he declares the immortality of the beauty of his beloved in the lines he write, in this poem he/she will be immortal and not ever the death will own it “Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade” and in the couplet declares the longevity of that eternity “   So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,” and “So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs? Alvarez traces how Trujillo demand
OlgaM077 [116]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by J* Alvarez.

Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.

If you did not march, your cédula would not be stamped, and without a stamped identification card, you could do nothing; in particular, you could not obtain your passport to leave the country under the pretext of wanting to study heart surgery. This was the second escape—this time with his whole family—that my father was planning.

The day came when my mother had to march. The parade went on for hours in the hot sun until my mother was sure she was going to faint. Her feet were swollen and hurting. The back of her white dress was damp with sweat. Finally when she thought she could not go one more step, the grandstand came into sight, a clutter of dress uniforms, a vague figure on the podium.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs?

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.  Alvarez describes how her family reacted to Trujillo’s demands and how that affected their lives when they left the Dominican Republic.  Alvarez retells her mother’s humiliating experience of paying tribute to a dictator she did not support.  Alvarez describes how Trujillo’s mandatory taxes and tributes affected her mother in a negative way."

Answer:

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.

Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that the narrator explains to us how Trujillo assuming the position of a dictator requires that all citizens of the region offer tributes to him, if they want to remain in the country with a life with the minimum of dignity.

This demand greatly affected the life of the narrator's family, especially his mother, who was forced to pay tribute to a dictator she does not support, just to protect her family.
