SCENE I.—Michael wipes his sweat-drenched face with an old rag for what feels like the thousandth time this morning. The porch fan is on its highest setting, but it does nothing to relieve the air of its heavy, stickiness. The glass of cool lemonade he had poured in the kitchen is dripping condensation onto the old, brown wicker table. He rises from the rocking chair as he sees a bright red car pull into the driveway.

Use the stanza from "Recuerdo" to answer the question.
We were very tired, we were very merry—
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.
It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable—
But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table,
We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon;
And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon.

Use the poem to answer the question.
(1) We were very tired, we were very merry—
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.
It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable—
But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table,
We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon;
And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon.
(2) We were very tired, we were very merry—
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry;
And you ate an apple, and I ate a pear,
From a dozen of each we had bought somewhere;
And the sky went wan, and the wind came cold,
And the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold.
(3) We were very tired, we were very merry,
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.
We hailed, “Good morrow, mother!” to a shawl-covered head,
And bought a morning paper, which neither of us read;
And she wept, “God bless you!” for the apples and pears,
And we gave her all our money but our subway fares.

Question
Use the excerpt from Peter Pan to answer the question.
Mrs. Darling came to the window, for at present she was keeping a sharp eye on Wendy. She told Peter that she had adopted all the other boys, and would like to adopt him also.
“Would you send me to school?” he inquired craftily.
"Yes.”
“And then to an office?”
"I suppose so.”
“Soon I would be a man?”
“Very soon.”
“I don’t want to go to school and learn solemn things,” he told her passionately. “I don’t want to be a man. O Wendy’s mother, if I was to wake up and feel there was a beard!”
“Peter,” said Wendy the comforter, “I should love you in a beard;” and Mrs. Darling stretched out her arms to him, but he repulsed her. “Keep back, lady, no one is going to catch me and make me a man.”
“But where are you going to live?”
“With Tink in the house we built for Wendy. The fairies are to put it high up among the treetops where they sleep at nights.”
“How lovely,” cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip.
“I thought all the fairies were dead,” Mrs. Darling said.
"There are always a lot of young ones,” explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority, “because you see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies. They live in nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are.”
“I shall have such fun,” said Peter, with one eye on Wendy.
“It will be rather lonely in the evening,” she said, “sitting by the fire.”
“I shall have Tink.”

None of the given response options accurately describes the difference between Peter Pan and Mrs. Darling's points of view. Therefore, the correct answer is not provided. The correct difference between their points of view is that Peter refuses to grow up and become a man, while Mrs. Darling has a traditional view of adulthood and wants Peter to grow up and become a responsible member of society.
what would be the closest answer to the question
"They both worry that Peter will be lonely" could be interpreted as somewhat related to the answer, as Mrs. Darling expresses concern about Peter being lonely in the evenings without a family, while Peter believes that he will not be lonely with Tinker Bell. However, this answer is not a perfect match and does not fully capture the main difference between their points of view.

The well was dry beside the door,
(1) And so we went with pail and can
Across the fields behind the house
To seek the brook if still it ran;
(2) Not loth to have excuse to go,
Because the autumn eve was fair
(Though chill), because the fields were ours,
And by the brook our woods were there.
(3) We ran as if to meet the moon
That slowly dawned behind the trees,
The barren boughs without the leaves,
Without the birds, without the breeze.
(4) But once within the wood, we paused
Like gnomes that hid us from the moon,
Ready to run to hiding new
With laughter when she found us soon.
(5) Each laid on other a staying hand
To listen ere we dared to look,
And in the hush we joined to make
We heard, we knew we heard the brook.
(6) A note as from a single place,
A slender tinkling fall that made
Now drops that floated on the pool
Like pearls, and now a silver blade.

Use the excerpt from "Recuerdo" by Edna St. Vincent Millay to answer the question.
We were very tired, we were very merry—
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.
It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable—
But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table,
We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon;
And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon.

And the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold.

The repetition of the imagery of the sky in the two stanzas illustrates the passage of time and creates a sense of hope for a new day after a night of travel. The contrast between the wan sky and cold wind of dawn and the "bucketful of gold" sunrise emphasizes this transition and reinforces the themes of both exhaustion and renewal in the poem. Therefore, the correct answer is: It illustrates the passage of time and reveals hope for a new day after a trip that lasted all night.

The answer is: It illustrates the passage of time and reveals hope for a new day after a trip that lasted all night.
“The West Wind” by John Masefield
It’s a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds’ cries;
I never hear the west wind but tears are in my eyes.
For it comes from the west lands, the old brown hills.
And April’s in the west wind, and daffodils.
It’s a fine land, the west land, for hearts as tired as mine.
Apple orchards blossom there, and the air’s like wine.
There is cool green grass there, where men may lie at rest,
And the thrushes are in song there, fluting from the nest.
“Will ye not come home brother? Ye have been long away,
It’s April, and blossom time, and white is the may;
And bright is the sun brother, and warm is the rain, --
Will ye not come home, brother, home to us again?
