Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell;
Ding-dong.
Hark! Now I hear them – Ding-dong bell.
Part A - What has happened to the father in "Full Fathom Five"?
a. He has turned into a sea creature.
b. He has been diving to explore the sea.
c. His body has been turned into riches of the ocean. ***
d. He has lost his children at sea.
Part B - Which line from the poem best supports your answer to the previous question?
a. Those are pearls that were his eyes
b. Nothing of him doth fade
c. Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell
d. Hark! Now I hear them - Ding-dong bell.
I'm just stuck on Part B. Maybe it's A? Please correct me if I'm wrong at all! Thank you!
1. Part A - C
Part B - A
2. D
3. I think the two sound devices that are given in the poem are alliteration and repetition. Alliteration is used, noticeably, in the first line. “Full fathom five thy father lies;”. Notice the letter “F” is constant? Alliteration is the repetition of sound of the beginnings of words, and I think the poem really captured that. Repetition is shown, too. Like, for example, “Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell;/Ding-dong./Hark! Now I hear them – Ding-dong bell.”. “Ding-dong” is shown twice.
4. B
5. B
6. D
7. A
8. I cannot help with question 8.
Hope this helps Connexus Students.
Alyssa is correct thank you!

Thank you alyssa sooooo much your the best
To determine the correct answer for Part B, let's analyze the lines from the poem and see which one best supports the answer to Part A.
In the poem, the lines "Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made" suggest that the father's body has transformed and become part of the ocean, specifically coral. So, the answer to Part A is indeed "c. His body has been turned into riches of the ocean."
Now, let's examine the four options for Part B:
a. Those are pearls that were his eyes
b. Nothing of him doth fade
c. Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell
d. Hark! Now I hear them - Ding-dong bell.
The line "Those are pearls that were his eyes" describes the father's eyes as pearls. This line does not directly support the idea that his body has turned into riches of the ocean (coral), so it is not the best choice.
The line "Nothing of him doth fade" simply suggests that nothing fades or disappears from the father, but it doesn't provide specific information about what has happened to him. So, it does not strongly support our answer.
The line "Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell" indicates that sea nymphs are ringing a bell or tolling for the father, which implies that he has passed away. Although this line doesn't directly mention his transformation into coral, it does support the idea that he has undergone a significant change in his existence.
Lastly, the line "Hark! Now I hear them - Ding-dong bell" is a verbal observation of the sound of the bell ringing, but it doesn't provide additional information about the father's transformation.
Considering all of this, the line that best supports the answer from Part A is "c. Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell."
