anonymous · Answer

I think it is c

zale101 · Answer

"And burst the cannon's ROAR;" the cannon seems so dangerously put in this verse

shamil98 · Answer

the frenzied danger of war? then?

shamil98 · Answer

I was thinking that or the eternal nature of war.

anonymous · Answer

Yeah now even I think it is the frenzied danger of war

zale101 · Answer

it can be C, because it describes how the war interacts with the nature itself, the first verse used beneath it, maybe they were describing the earth. The 3 verse described how the ocean interacts with hostility. The last one is the clouds. Yeah i really agree with you @thisSucks, i didn't read the choices carefully
but i honestly not sure whether it's correct or not :(

shamil98 · Answer

May i ask you to share your thoughts on a poem as well? To confer with my opinion? I shall close this question.

anonymous · Answer

Yeah maybe some Math hating girl can help you. Girls are good at poetry

zale101 · Answer

but i still think war is frenzied and dangerous

shamil98 · Answer

ima go with C it talks bout clouds and the ocean and air ._.

zale101 · Answer

because every stanza described how war is dangerous, the sound of it and how nature interacts with it. It's so dangerous to the point it effects the nature, i think that's the message of the poem

zale101 · Answer

but the second stanza doesn't talk about nature, that's why i thought D is the best choice, because if u read it carefully all the verses give the sense of hostility and danger

zale101 · Answer

of war

zale101 · Answer

it says "eternal nature of war" how is it eternal, that didn't make sense ?

shamil98 · Answer

That's true, it talks about the dangers, like a meteor , as it represents something terrifying.

zale101 · Answer

wait..

zale101 · Answer

i think when it says "eternal" it mean that it happens daily and it's usually part of life

zale101 · Answer

i think C is right >.<
