1.) You chose option A: "Walls can serve to keep things out as well as keep things in." That is the correct theme expressed in the excerpt from the poem "Mending Wall." To get to this answer, you need to analyze the lines of the excerpt. The narrator wonders why good neighbors need walls if there are no cows. This suggests that the purpose of the wall is not just to confine cows but to serve other purposes. The narrator then expresses the idea that before building a wall, it is important to consider what is being enclosed or excluded and how it might offend others, implying that walls can both separate and protect. Therefore, option A, "Walls can serve to keep things out as well as keep things in," is the correct theme.
2.) You chose option A: "To inform the readers that there is an environmental hazard in burning fossil fuels." That is the correct primary purpose of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. To arrive at this answer, you can examine the title of the book, "An Inconvenient Truth," which suggests that the author wants to communicate some important information to the readers. Throughout the book, Gore presents scientific evidence and data to inform the readers about the environmental hazards caused by burning fossil fuels. He discusses climate change, global warming, and the impact on the Earth's atmosphere. Therefore, option A, "To inform the readers that there is an environmental hazard in burning fossil fuels," is the correct primary purpose of the book.
3.) You chose option B: "Metaphor." That is the correct poetic device used in the lines from Frost's poem "Mending Wall." In the given lines, the image of the neighbor bringing a stone is compared to that of an "old-stone savage armed." This comparison suggests that the neighbor seems primitive or uncivilized, emphasizing the physical and perhaps aggressive nature of his actions. Therefore, option B, "Metaphor," is the correct poetic device used in those lines.

Then 3 is c?
and 2 is c
2 is c.
3 is neither b nor c.
