Question

This passage is mostly about the:
A. new-built city.
B. farmhouse.
C. brook.
D. meadow grass.

Answer 1

Read the following passage and answer the questions 11 through 15: A Brook In The City The farmhouse lingers, though averse to square With the new city street it has to wear A number in. But what about the brook That held the house as in an elbow-crook? I ask as one who knew the brook, its strength And impulse, having dipped a finger length And made it leap my knuckle, having tossed A flower to try its currents where they crossed. The meadow grass could be cemented down From growing under pavements of a town; The apple trees be sent to hearth-stone flame. Is water wood to serve a brook the same? How else dispose of an immortal force No longer needed? Staunch it at its source With cinder loads dumped down? The brook was thrown Deep in a sewer dungeon under stone In fetid darkness still to live and run -- And all for nothing it had ever done Except forget to go in fear perhaps. No one would know except for ancient maps That such a brook ran water. But I wonder If from its being kept forever under, The thoughts may not have risen that so keep This new-built city from both work and sleep.

Answer 2

i think its B but not sure

Answer 3

Hmm not too sure cause if you read the very last sentence "this new built city from both work and sleep" but the big thing is .. it describes them all but it has to describe more of one of the subjects/options .. but I'm sure to think D. meadow grass cause if you read the sentence "but i wonder if from its being kept forever "under" , the thoughts may not have "risen" that so keep ...

Read the words i " with
"under" - with the way the sentence is explaining .. its saying "forever under" and grass is "always under" the ground ... down with the roots and dirt

"risen" - grass can be short tall , leaning towards the sentence of what its meaning it says "may not have "risen" and meadow grass "risens" .. so with this do you agree with D?

yea true
i do agree with D
