In Phillis Wheatley's poem “Imagination” In his poem, he discusses throughout the Greek mythology about the various gods and seasons. The meter pattern in these lines is iambic pentameter.

Iambic pentameter is a type of meter pattern which contains the number of syllables and emphasis on the same, in a line of verse. It consists of the short syllable followed by the long or stressed syllable. Great examples of the iambic pentameter are the works of Shakespeare.

algol [13]

Many battles and wars (such as the one at Gettysburg), are commemorated by statues or monuments, with some areas preserved as monuments and national parks. This claim contradicts the view that Carl Sandburg (1918) has developed in his war poem "Grass"." I am the grass; I cover all.", the poet ,here,  believes that people forget about battles and wars. "All" refers to  the bodies from different battles and wars. The grass , "Let me work.." will naturally bury the misery and the mistakes human beings have made. Besides, time will pass and the people visiting the places where the piles of bodies were buried will just ask these simple questions : " What place is this?; Where are we now?" because society will easily forget about its own wounds. The poet's view is pessimistic. Nature will cover up human beings ' mistakes and they will make them again since they will be erased from memory. The fact that human beings repeat their mistakes is reflected when the poet mentions many wars and battles : "Austerlitz", " Waterloo", "Gettysburg" , "Ypres" and "Verdun". Therefore, monuments and national parks may be useless for  Carl Sandburg. Human beings will just forget and go to war again. War means nothing to them; they will just  "shovel the bodies under the grass."

Answer: A. Explain why the only upper classes could afford to drink tea

Explanation:

In the excerpt, McGregor introduces a history of tea, and mentions important historical figures - such as Queen Anne - that drank it. He later mentions Samuel Johnson, a distinguished English writer, who considered himself "a happy addict." What McGregor wanted to achieve by this is to point out that tea consumption first started in the upper class - other people could not afford it.
