In the poem "<em>The Second Coming</em>"  written by William Yeats, the author explores Anarchy and chaotic scenarios where things fall apart and order can only be reestablished by the return of <em>Jesus Christ</em> on earth.

When the author uses the phrase "<em>The ceremony of innocence is drowned</em>" he refers to a set of circumstances of violence, brutality and horror caused by what he calls "<em>a loose blood dimmed tide</em>" which suffocates purity and freshness, describing a cataclysm; worthy of resemblance to biblical passages of events involving destruction on a catastrophic scale such as Noah’s flood, or the total and final destruction of the world, described in the book of Revelation as "<em>The Apocalypse</em>".

The poem seems to be the author's emotional release after the presumable trauma of <em>World War I</em> around that time in Europe, since it was written in 1919.

It's an evident appeal to a Christian concept in seek of spiritual refreshment as a cathartic method to purge his likely repressed emotions in the post-war environment.

1. What do paragraphs 65-72 reveal about the kids'
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is The kids realize that the rain is less enjoyable than the sun.

Explanation:

It seems that the kids haven't seen the Sun in a very long time, years even. They are living underground on Venus and they have been for years. So in this moment, they finally see the Sun and all run outside to play and have fun and soak in the warmth after such a long time.

However, their happiness doesn't last long as it starts pouring rain and they have to go back to the underground house, understanding they will have to wait another seven years for the Sun to appear again.

Here is the entire excerpt:

<em>A few cold drops fell on their noses and their cheeks and their mouths. The sun faded behind a stir of mist. A wind blew cool around them. They turned and started to walk back toward the underground house, their hands at their sides, their smiles vanishing away.</em>
