Question

Which of the following best describes the difference between lines 51162 - 58882 and lines 26757 - 35359?

• A. Generalization to direct address.
• B. Present tense to past tense.
• C. Positive discourse to negative discourse.
• D. Simple description to extended simile.
• E. Terrestrial presence to divine intervention.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Generalization to direct address.

Here the difference between 1-6 lines and the rest of the poem is noted when the first six lines of the poem addresses general 'he' while the rest of talks to a 'you', making it more personal. So, option A must be the answer. Option B cannot be the answer as there is no switch in tense and C is also not the answer as there is no change in attitude. There is also no extended simile nor is there a divine intervention. So, options D and E are out as well. A is our answer.
