1. To figure out a poem's theme, it is best to infer the theme from details, images, and symbols. This means looking for recurring ideas, symbols, or metaphors throughout the poem that can help you understand the overall message or central idea.
2. In "A Poison Tree" by Blake, the comparison made to develop the theme is "the results of evil are compared to a poison apple." This comparison helps to convey the consequences and destructive nature of harboring anger and grudges.
3. The best example of dramatic irony is option A, "‘’A little black thing in times of woe crying 'weep,' weep, in notes of woe.'' This line is an example of dramatic irony because the speaker does not realize that the "little black thing" is actually their own child, which adds a layer of irony and tension to the poem.
4. All different types of irony have in common that there is some degree of discrepancy between expectation and reality (option C). Irony relies on unexpected twists or contradictions between what is expected and what actually happens.
5. The correct phrase that uses synesthesia is option A, "Coled a long age in deep-delved earth..." Synesthesia refers to the blending of different senses in a single expression, such as using "coled" to describe a feeling that combines coldness and darkness.
6. For the Romantic poets, nature is viewed as a force that acts on the human mind (option A). They often saw nature as a powerful source of inspiration and saw it as a reflection of their own emotions and thoughts.
7. The line that is not strict blank verse in "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" is option D, "The day is come when I again repose..." This line does not follow the typical pattern of iambic pentameter, which is characteristic of blank verse.
8. The best example of personification is option D, "The river glideth at its own sweet will." Personification involves attributing human qualities or actions to non-human entities, as in this example where the river is given the ability to act independently.
9. In "The World is Too Much With Us," Wordsworth uses allusion to emphasize the speaker's connection to the sea (option B). Allusion refers to making references to other literary works, mythological figures, or historical events to enhance the meaning of a poem.
10. The words in which alliteration appears in the phrase "As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted / By women wailing for her demon lover" are option A, "As, a, was." Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words.
11. The phrase that contains assonance is option C, "The cold sweat melted from their limbs?" Assonance refers to the repetition of vowel sounds within words.
12. In "Frankenstein," all of the influences of the Romantic period mentioned in options A, B, and C are apparent. The monster can be seen as a romantic hero rejected from society, there are allusions to other Romantic works, and it examines the conflict between human nature and experience.
13. Nature in "Frankenstein" seems to react to Victor's feelings and thoughts, as well as being an essential part of his ability to create life. So, the correct answer is option D, "Both A and C."
14. The distinct storylines that are woven together in "Frankenstein" are the stories of Robert Walton, the monster, and Victor Frankenstein. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
