WHAT ARE THE ANSWERs!??!!??!?!?!
To determine which lines from "The Fairies' Lullaby" best convey the author's calm tone, let's analyze the choices:
A. "you spotted snakes with double tongue, / Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen."
This line focuses on warning certain creatures to not be seen, indicating a sense of exclusion rather than calmness.
B. "Philomel (Nightingale) with melody / Sing in our sweet lullaby."
This line mentions the Nightingale singing in their lullaby, suggesting a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. This choice reflects a calm tone.
C. "Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence! / Beetles black, approach not near."
Similar to choice A, this line involves warning certain insects to stay away, which contradicts a calm tone.
D. "Come our lovely lady nigh. / So, good night with lullaby."
This line welcomes the "lovely lady" and bids "good night," indicating a soothing and gentle tone.
Between choices B and D, both lines contribute to understanding the author's calm tone. However, B specifically highlights the presence of melody and sweetness, emphasizing the calmness more strongly. Therefore, option B, "Philomel with melody / Sing in our sweet lullaby," is the best choice for demonstrating the author's calm tone.
I hope this explanation helps clarify your confusion and assists in selecting the right answer!
