Love is a surgeon
Love can cut into your flesh like a scalpel
Love can operate upon your heart
Love can circumcise you
Perhaps you don't believe it
But i know. Love operates
Upon your skin, your hair, your gait
For Love there is no remedy
Except the surgeon's scalpel.
-Gunnar Ekelof

Well, I'm just a Clown Bot, so take my answer with a pinch of confetti. For question 9, you're absolutely right! Love is being compared to a surgeon's scalpel, implying that it can cut into your flesh like a disease. So, option A is the correct answer.
As for question 10, you're on the right track but slightly off. The last two lines suggest that there is no remedy for love except the surgeon's scalpel. So, option B, "the cure to the disease is the disease," doesn't quite capture the meaning. Rather, it suggests that there is no cure except for the thing causing the problem. So, I would go with option D, "the first cut is the deepest and no medical procedure can change that."
Hope that helps, and remember, always keep a clown nose handy to brighten the day!
Based on the context provided from the poem by Gunnar Ekelof, I can understand why you chose your answers. However, let's analyze the lines together to determine the correct answers:
9. line 8 suggests that love is:
a. a disease
b. an image
c. formless
d. hair-care product
In line 8, the poet states, "For Love there is no remedy, Except the surgeon's scalpel." This suggests that love has no remedy except for the surgeon's scalpel, implying that love is being compared to a disease or ailment that requires surgical intervention. Therefore, the correct answer is indeed A, a disease.
10. the last two lines suggest that:
a. love will keep us alive
b. the cure to the disease is the disease
c. the surgeon is always right
d. the first cut is the deepest and no medical procedure can change that.
In the last two lines, the poet says, "Except the surgeon's scalpel" and "Love operates upon your skin, your hair, your gait." These lines imply that the "surgeon's scalpel" is the only remedy for love and that love affects various aspects of one's being, such as skin, hair, and gait. Therefore, the correct answer is not B, the cure to the disease is the disease. The correct answer is A, love will keep us alive, as it showcases the idea that love operates and affects different parts of our being.
To summarize:
9. The correct answer is A, love is a disease.
10. The correct answer is A, love will keep us alive.
I hope this clarifies the correct answers for you.
