Read the lines from byron's "she walks in beauty" and answer the question.

one shade the more, one ray the less,
had half impaired the nameless grace
which waves in every raven tress,
or softly lightens o'er her face;
where thoughts serenely sweet express
how pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

the sibilance in these lines and throughout the poem creates a tone best described as click here to reference the poem.

hushed in awe
hissing in scorn
sighing from desire
restrained from respect

The correct answer is sighing from desire.

Indeed, the lexical field is populated with words that express tenderness, beauty and purity. However, there is a symbolic, underlying carnal desire in the poem. The sibilance is very ambiguous, just as the meaning of the words used to convey it (shade, less, grace, waves, tress). The word “waves” is especially evocative, as it expresses the waves of  desire of the narrator for the beautiful woman.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.

the correct answer is (a) . answer should be simple, clear and brief.
