eleven is number #1 because the word error and impediments means obstacles and it also stated mistake in the poem
14. is number 3 because what was stated in I cor.
To determine the correct answer for both questions, we need to take a closer look at the context and meaning of the lines provided.
In the concluding lines of Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, the lines "If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved" convey a message of unwavering conviction and assurance in the power of love. These lines emphasize the unchanging nature of true love, stating that if the speaker's claims of love are proven false, then he never wrote any of his poetry, and no man has ever truly loved.
From this interpretation, it is clear that option 2, "They underscore the fact that Shakespeare is a writer," is not the correct answer. Instead, option 3, "They underscore the conviction that emotions are unreliable," aligns more closely with the idea conveyed. By stating that if his claims are false, then all love throughout history is also false, Shakespeare underscores the conviction that emotions, including love, can be untrustworthy.
Moving on to the theme of John Donne's Holy Sonnet 10, the line that best states the theme is: "Death be not proud, though some have called thee." This line establishes the central theme of the sonnet, which is the defiance and denial of death's power. The speaker challenges the conventional view of death as something to be feared and instead asserts that death should not be considered triumphant or proud. In this way, the speaker emphasizes the idea that death is not the final victor, and therefore, humanity should not fear it.
Thus, the correct answer is option 2, "Death be not proud, though some have called thee," as it best articulates the central theme of the sonnet. Option 3, which includes the line "And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die," is thematically related but does not express the central theme as effectively.
