#2 It #3
To determine the correct answer for each question, we need to analyze the given excerpts and identify their meanings.
1. The impact of the concluding lines from Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, "If this be error and upon me proved/ I never writ, nor no man ever loved," is to underscore the conviction that everything stated before is true. So the correct answer is option #4.
2. The excerpt from John Donne's "Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" that indicates what the speaker does not want his wife to mourn is "Our two souls therefore, which are one/though I must go, endure not yet." So the correct answer is option #2.
3. The best interpretation of the passage from John Donne's "Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" is that Donne is using a conceit to describe the love between him and his wife. A conceit is an extended metaphor that often compares two unrelated things. So the correct answer is option #2.
4. The line that best states the theme of John Donne's Holy Sonnet 10 is "Death be not proud, though some have called thee." The theme of the sonnet is the powerlessness and insignificance of death. So the correct answer is option #2.
5. The best interpretation of the phrase from John Donne's Meditation 17, "When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language," is that it describes humankind's pursuit of knowledge. The phrase conveys the idea that when someone dies, their knowledge and experiences are not lost, but rather transformed into a higher form of understanding. So the correct answer is option #2.
6. The correct interpretation of the excerpt from Ben Jonson's "On My First Son," "Seven years wert thou lent to me, and I thee pay,/Exacted by the fate, on the just day," is that his son died at the age of seven. The line expresses the speaker's grief over the loss of his young son. So the correct answer is option #1.
7. The excerpt from Ben Jonson's "Song to Celia" that compares love to intoxication is "Since then it grows and smells, I swear,/not of itself, but thee." The speaker is expressing that love intoxicates them, just as a scent would. So the correct answer is option #1.
8. The phrase from John Milton's "When I Consider How My Light is Spent," "And that one talent which is death to hide," alludes to the individual's obligation to serve their maker. The phrase refers to the biblical parable of the talents, where each person is given talents by God and is expected to use them for His service. So the correct answer is option #1.
9. The event that John Milton is referring to in the excerpt from "Paradise Lost" is Adam and Eve's fall from perfection. The passage mentions the "infernal serpent" deceiving "the mother of mankind," which is a reference to the biblical story of Adam and Eve being tempted by the serpent in the Garden of Eden. So the correct answer is option #4.
10. The speakers of Wyatt's and Spenser's sonnets have in common their expressions of love and desire for a particular woman. However, they differ in their tone and approach. Wyatt's tone is more resigned and melancholic, while Spenser's tone is more passionate and idealistic. So the main similarity is their subject matter, and the main difference is the tone and approach.
11. In Jonson's "Song: To Celia," the extended metaphor is comparing the speaker's lover, Celia, to various precious objects like a rose wreath and divine nectar. The metaphor is used to convey the intensity and beauty of the speaker's love for Celia. So the correct answer is that the extended metaphor is the comparison of the speaker's lover to precious objects.
12. In Donne's "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning," the metaphor of the compass is used to describe the love between the speaker and his wife. The compass represents the two souls being connected and tied together, with one foot fixed (representing the wife's soul) and the other moving (representing the speaker's soul). The metaphor emphasizes the strength and stability of their love, even when physically separated. So the correct answer is that the metaphor of the compass represents the love between the speaker and his wife.
13. Satan's opinions about God in Milton's "Paradise Lost" are not logical, as Satan is portrayed as a fallen angel who rebels against God out of envy and pride. Satan's opinions are based on his delusions and distorted understanding of reality. So, no, they do not seem logical.
14. The line that best states the theme of John Donne's holy sonnet 10 is "Death be not proud, though some have called thee." The theme of the poem is the triumph of eternal life over death and the powerlessness of death in the face of faith. So the correct answer is option #2.
The correct answer for the impact of the concluding lines from Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 is #4. They underscore the conviction of everything stated before.
For the line that best states the theme of John Donne's holy Sonnet 10, the correct answer is #2. "Death be not proud, though some have called thee."
