I agree.
is it ok I have a couple more i am not sure about but have answered already
Below is the last stanza of a poem, "Dover Beach," written in 1876 by Matthew Arnold.
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 help 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.
Which one of the following statements best characterizes Arnold's view of the world?
A. The world is just a dream.
B. The world is a confusing and hostile place.
C. The world is made for lovers.
D. The world is not a beautiful place.
I think the answer is B it makes the most sence to me, do u have a opinion?
(1) After my interview with these four young people, I reflected on the quiet sense of "difference" I sensed with many of these Upward Bound students. (2) As a college teacher who has also taught seventh-grade science, I have some experience with the faces and attitudes of adolescence. (3) Upward Bound students had those faces. (4) There was the puzzled coping with changing bodies—hormone hell. (5) There was ambivalence about "authority figures" and uncertainties about whether or not the world would have some place for them. (6) There were the studied rationalizations about lapses on homework assignments, moments of despair, adolescent angst—all of that. (7) But there was also that "difference." (8) Maybe it's one part knowing people care and one part beginning to trust the future. (9) I wasn't sure.
(Turner, "Onward and Upward: Upward Bound Helps Open College Doors," Virginia Journal of Education, June 1992. Adapted as fair usage.)
Which statement best summarizes the conclusion one may draw from this passage?
A. One can draw no conclusions about the "difference" shown by Upward Students
B. The "difference" may result from emotional support and increased self-confidence.
C. Adolescents need a firm hand.
D. It is clear that positive role models and emotional support are keys to success.
This is the last one I think the answer is B.
I agree with both of your answers. :-)
