Which statement best describes how the structure of these excerpts helps to develop the themes? The refrains of "An Irish Airman
marishachu [46]
In my opinion, the correct answer is D: <span>Both the parallel structure in the excerpt of "An Irish Airman Foresees His Own Death" and the repetition in the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night" emphasize the inevitability of death.

The main point of both poems is that death is inevitable. However, in Yates' poem, the airman willingly faces death, because of an inner impulse that he finds hard to describe. In this excerpt, he tells us that he is more or less indifferent toward those who are below, on Earth. He is interested in death itself, as a dark phenomenon that haunts him. On the other hand, in Thomas' poem, the inevitability of death is human tragic destiny. We should cling to life as best we can precisely because death is inevitable. These two poems have the same topic, but opposite directions of thought: Yates' speaker goes to meet death, embracing it, whereas Thomas' speaker encourages his dying father to try and postpone death, if possible.</span>

No. He has not made a good decision. 

his youngest child will be just turning 20 by the time Deshawn is 58. If Deshawn chooses to help that child get set up in life - or even marry, all of those occurances will be happening in the following 5 years. This would include after retirement time for Deshawn.

This excerpt from the song “Revolutionary Tea” describes what historical event
IRISSAK [1]
By the name "Revolutionary Tea", (even though i have never heard of the song), i can imply a few things.

1) It happened during the Revolutionary war
2) It has to do with Tea

Next, we will look at the answer choices. The only reasonable one is The Boston Tea Party, as while it is before the Revolution, it is the only one that had to do with Tea (dumping of tea over into the Boston Harbor from the ships), and led to the Revolutionary war.


The Boston Tea Party is your best answer

hope this helps
