Read gwendolyn brooks' poem, "the bean eaters" and answer the question. they eat beans mostly, this old yellow pair. dinner is a casual affair. plain chipware on a plain and creaking wood, tin flatware. two who are mostly good. two who have lived their day, but keep on putting on their clothes and putting things away. and remembering, with twinklings and twinges, as they lean over the beans in their rented back room that is full of beads and receipts and dolls and cloths. tobacco crumbs, vases and fringes. in the first sentence of the third stanza, what do the ellipses imply? a definitive stop to remembering enjambment a sort of trailing off into memory a militaristic halt, and thus the hard truth of reality

ok so it would be d because that would catch attention and make them what to read it.

d.) gold is the correct answer

i believe it is b, but i could be wrong. im pretty sure im right tho. ; )

answer :

the idiom "pride goes before a fall" means that being too proud causes one to make mistakes that eventually lead to failure or downfall.

in the stranger's story in the "the storyteller," bertha had won three medals for obedience, punctuality and good manners. she was really proud of her medals and pinned them to her dress and wore them everywhere she went so that everyone would know how good she was. in the end, these symbols of her excessive pride cost her her life. when she was hiding from the wolf in the bushes, it was the clinking of her medals that alerted his attention towards her presence and lead to her death.
