The poem’s theme can be: sometimes harsh losses can cause one to see life differently, as a result of an overwhelming sense of grief.
Had to look for the missing details and here is my answer.
"For the Union Dead" is actually a book that was written by Robert Lowell. This book composes of a collection of poems. And based on the excerpt given taken from this book, what the author wants the reader to recognize as based on the start and end is that the Colonel Shaw's monument would be one day be destroyed and forgotten. Hope this helps.
Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:
a)Sir Mordred distrusts the peace treaty that King Arthur has arranged.
<span>b)Sir Bedivere lies to King Arthur about throwing the sword in the lake. </span>
<span>c)King Arthur and the traitor Sir Mordred fight to the death. </span>
<span>d)The hermit buries a dead body in a little chapel.
</span>
The answer is A
I believe D would be the most reasonable answer for this question given that it has factual information that well suits a topic sentence.
