Answer 1

Welcome to QC! What do you think the answer would be?

Answer 2

For this question, you most likely will have to be good with context clues. You have to read the sentence or verse and the things around it.

Answer 3

I have no idea, this course makes no sense to me i never learned any of this stuff

Answer 4

So, we know that C would not be an answer. This is because there seems to be no fear in the poem or around the verses

Answer 5

And for answer four, the bamboola (I know, that isn't even the way to spell it), is not mentioned in the poem
