Olegator [25]

The option that provides the best definition of the term avant-garde as the author intends it in the passage is (b.) innovative.

Select ALL the correct text in the passage.
ki77a [65]

Answer: The two lines that best support this claim are - "knot's untied that made us one" and "God grant to yours and you".

Explanation:

The theme of Anne Bradstreet's poem<em> " Before the Birth of One of Her Children"</em> is that people cannot avoid death, and should spend this valuable time on Earth in a best way possible.

At the time the poem was written, religion was very important. Christianity was, according to the settlers, superior to all other religions. It is, therefore, not surprising that the literature in the colonial era often contains religious references. These are also included in Bradstreet's poems, in which God is frequently referred to.
