when little lights in little ports come out
quivering down through water with the stars,
and all the fishing fleet of slender spars
range at their moorings veer with tide about
when race of wind is stilled and sails are furled,
and underneath our single riding-light
the curve of black-ribbed deck gleams palely w
and slumbrous waters pool a slumbrous world;
then, and then only have i thought how swee
old age might sink upon a windy youth,
quiet beneath the riding-light of truth,
weathered through storms, and gracious in retreat

which of the following is true of the text in bold?

a. it explicitly describes night at the ports

b. it explicitly states that the ports are damaged

c. it implies the dangers of working at sea

the price of our current war is high; it costs money and it costs lives.

but it does not cost our pride. it does not cost the guilt that would arise from knowing that we did nothing to intervene while our neighboring nations fell to despotic leaders.

it does not cost the terror of knowing that our allies are unstable. it does not cost the fear that we, too, will be next to fall.

which sentence most accurately explains why the speaker's use of the parallel structure is effective in this passage?

a. it underscores that disagreement will not be tolerated and will be dealt with swiftly.

b. it makes the speaker seem like a decisive and capable leader.

c. it emphasizes reasons to fight and inspires listeners to aid the war effort.

d. it establishes the speaker's credibility by acknowledging the difficulties of war.

the correct answer is option d. none of these. it is noted that options a, b, and c share the same content.

despite the valid answer provided at the last sentence of each of the options, a question/answer format shouldn't include humourous themed responses such as "you bet your thermal pj's we do." - unless of course, the answer is carried out in an informal environment. this could be replaced with a simple "yes" or "it is necessary".

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
