Read the poem "bacchus's regret" by hunter doyle and answer the question. [1] king midas returned my beloved teacher to me, so i rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be. midas cried, "give my fingers a golden touch! then, i shall have a gilded kingdom and such." [5] i tried to make him see the err of his choice, but he would not heed the caution in my voice. i pleaded with midas, "be careful what you choose, for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose." [9] his thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite; after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite. his daughter wept for her poor starving dad, so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad. [13] into a golden statue midas's daughter became, and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame. yet, maybe if i had put up more of a fight and a fret, then i wouldn't have to live with all this regret. select the line that best supports the theme greed can prompt bad decisions. "king midas returned my beloved teacher to me, / so i rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be." (lines 1–2) "midas cried, 'give my fingers a golden touch! / then, i shall have a gilded kingdom and such.'" (lines 3–4) "i tried to make him see the err of his choice, / but he would not heed the caution in my voice." (lines 4–5) "yet, maybe if i had put up more of a fight and a fret, / then i wouldn't have to live with all this regret." (lines 15–16)
