Absence been" by William Shakespeare: How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December's bareness every where!
1. William Shakespeare, "How like a winter hath my absence been," in Shakespeare's
Sonnets, ed. William J. Rolfe (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1883), 95.
Which of the following is the most likely explanation for how the structure of
the poem contributes to its meaning?
A. The repetition of "what" within the poem's lyric structure
emphasizes all the different ways that the speaker's feelings are
like winter.
B. The rhyming of "been" with "seen" shows that the speaker has
forgotten about his true love.
C. The phrase "dark days" is an element of epic structure that
represents both the winter's lack of sunlight and the speaker's
gloomy mood.
D. The epic structure of the comparison between winter and the
speaker's relationship suggests that his love is cold and distant,
much like the nation.

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
