Read the excerpt. from “ode on a grecian urn” by john keatsah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed your leaves, nor ever bid the spring adieu; and, happy melodist, unwearied, forever piping songs forever new; more happy love! more happy, happy love! forever warm and still to be enjoyed, what is the best interpretation of these lines from “ode on a grecian urn”?

Returning from vietnam, we were indeed given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. what is one way the author's use of language contributes to the tone of this passage? a. the use of figurative language creates a feeling of resentment. b. the phrase "hot, angry tangle" is used sarcastically to create irony. c. the word "parade" is used sarcastically to create a lighthearted mood. d. the parallelism draws attention to the confusion of those returning.
