4. In order to determine the answer to this question, you would need to read the poem "The New Colossus" and determine the specific line in which the comparison is made between the Statue of Liberty and the various options given (European queen, immigrant, mother, door).

7. To understand if describing the chariot that bears the human soul as "frugal" is an example of a paradox, you would need to understand what a paradox is. A paradox is a statement or situation that seems contradictory but may actually be true or have some truth to it. In this case, you would need to analyze the context and meaning of the word "frugal" in relation to the chariot and determine if it creates a contradictory or surprising effect.

9. To identify the speaker in Sandburg's "Grass," you would need to read the poem and pay attention to the perspective and voice from which the poem is written. Look for clues within the poem itself that hint at the identity or perspective of the speaker.

10. To identify which one of the poems depends heavily on the use of allusion for effect, you would need to read the given poems ("God's Grandeur," "Grass," "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night," "Death, Be Not Proud") and analyze the presence and impact of allusions in each poem. Allusion refers to the use of references to other works, people, or events, which can enhance the meaning or deepen the understanding of the poem.

12. To determine which poet, who seems to be using iambic pentameter, bends the meter most, you would need to read the poems by Emily Dickinson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, John Donne, and Emma Lazarus. Pay attention to the meter, specifically iambic pentameter, and look for instances where the poet breaks or deviates from the expected rhythm. Compare the degree of deviation in each poet's work to identify the one who bends the meter most.

13. To identify which element is characteristic of the poem "Richard Cory," you would need to read the poem and analyze its structure, themes, and literary devices. Pay attention to any surprise ending, lack of rhyme scheme, use of blank verse (unrhymed iambic pentameter), or adherence to the sonnet form.

14. To determine which poem is an English sonnet, you would need to read the poems "The Red Wheelbarrow," "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," "Into My Own," and "Travel." Understand that an English sonnet is a 14-line poem with a specific rhyme scheme (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG). Analyze the structure and rhyme scheme of each poem to identify the one that fits the criteria of an English sonnet.

17. To understand who the speaker in "Death, Be Not Proud" is addressing, you would need to read the poem and analyze the language and context in which the words are used. Look for clues within the poem that indicate whether the speaker is addressing their words to their father, Death itself, an old man, or God.

18. To determine the rhyme scheme in "How Ooth the Little Crocodile," you would need to locate the poem on page 29 of the book "Great Short Poems" and analyze the pattern of rhyme in the poem. Look for repetition of end sounds in each line and identify the specific pattern that emerges, such as AABB, ABAB, ABBA, or another pattern.

19. To identify which poem is written in free verse, you would need to read the poems "Grass," "Death, Be Not Proud," "There Is No Frigate Like a Book," and "God's Grandeur." Understand that free verse does not follow a specific rhyme or meter pattern. Look for poems that have a more irregular or organic structure that does not adhere to traditional poetic forms.

20. To determine which line is written in iambic pentameter, you would need to read and analyze the provided lines. Iambic pentameter consists of lines with five pairs of stressed and unstressed syllables. Look for lines that have the expected rhythm and meter of iambic pentameter.
