Read the following passage: "Football is still the most popular sport in the U. S. Nearly 40% of adults name it as their favorite. In 2018, the Super Bowl audience was five times larger than that for the NBA Finals. But America’s love affair with football is starting to fade away. Public approval of the National Football League is down ten points in the last five years. Recent polls show that for the first time, a majority of parents say they would try and talk their children out of playing the game if they asked about joining a team. Researchers suggest several possible causes for the decline, including disapproval of the on- and off-field behavior of professional players, concern over the physical and mental damage of the game at all levels of play, and a more general drop in sports viewership of all kinds. Whatever the cause, these trends are still new. Only time will tell if America and football are headed for a break-up or a make-up."

In this excerpt from "dover beach" by matthew arnold, which two lines or sets of lines suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith? the sea of faith was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. but now i only hear its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, retreating, to the breath of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear and naked shingles of the world. ah, love, let us be true to one another! for the world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new, hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, nor certitude, nor peace, nor for pain; and we are here as on a darkling plain swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, where ignorant armies clash by night.
