Well done! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
For question 2, the correct answer is b. happily continue walking. To determine the answer, you would need to read the last stanza of the poem "Tableau" and find the line or lines that indicate the boys' demeanor. In this case, the lines in the last stanza suggest that the boys continue walking cheerfully or happily.
For question 3, the correct answer is b. "The monkeys make sorrowful noise overhead." An objective correlative refers to a concrete object, action, or situation that represents or corresponds to a particular emotion or state of mind. In "The River Merchant's Wife," this quotation describes the monkeys making sorrowful noise, which can be seen as an objective correlative representing the speaker's sorrow and longing.
For question 4, the correct answer is c. humanity's interaction with nature. In "Anecdote of the Jar," the jar can be seen as a metaphor for humanity's impact on nature and the way it structures and contains it.
For question 5, the correct answer is d. gives the poem immediacy. Apostrophe refers to addressing or speaking to an absent or nonhuman figure. In "Chicago," the use of apostrophe helps create a sense of immediacy by directly addressing and personifying the city of Chicago.
