Which interpretation of the poem "Dover Beach," by Matthew Arnold, describes the effect of an allusion on the poem's meaning?
A. In Arnold's poem, the back-and-forth of the sea has an "eternal note of
sadness," as though nature is at war with itself and civilization offers the
only true chance of happiness in the world.
B. Arnold compares the shore to "folds of a bright girdle furld," conveying
the idea that the sad and violent state of nature was better at some point
in the past.
C. The speaker of the poem mentions the biblical story of David and
Goliath, in which an ordinary boy, David, brings down a giant with nothing
but a sling and his faith.
D. Arnold refers to how the sound of the sea reminded Sophocles of
"human misery," which suggests that the bleakness of the world has
been obvious since the beginning of civilization.

"where ha ye come fra? the swamp, that awfu' swamp. what were ye doin' there? " etc. "mony a puir body has been lost in that muckle, cauld, dreary bog and never been found." when i told her i had entered it in search of plants and had been in it all day, she wondered how plants could draw me to these awful places, and said, "it's god's mercy ye ever got out." examine the details muir includes in this paragraph. which statement accurately explains how muir's response to nature compares to the log house owner's response? he is enthusiastic and in awe while she is doubtful and fearful. muir cautiously admires whereas the lady shows religious dedication. the lady is more interested in the bog while muir is fascinated by plants. they both admire nature—its intense dangers and its true treasures.
