Read the following poem and answer questions 6-10. part v our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: the soul that rises with us, our life's star, hath had elsewhere its setting, and cometh from afar: not in entire forgetfulness, and not in utter nakedness, but trailing clouds of glory do we come from god, who is our home: heaven lies about us in our infancy! shades of the prison-house begin to close upon the growing boy, but he beholds the light, and whence it flows, he sees it in his joy; the youth, who daily farther from the east must travel, still is nature's priest, and by the vision splendid is on his way attended; at length the man perceives it die away, and fade into the light of common day. part vi earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own; yearnings she hath in her own natural kind, and, even with something of a mother's mind, and no unworthy aim, the homely nurse doth all she can to make her foster-child, her inmate man, forget the glories he hath known, and that imperial palace whence he came. question 6 (2 points) which lines from the poem best support the inference that humans are divine by nature? select each correct answer. question 6 options: "the soul that rises with us, our life's star," "and fade into the light of common day." "but trailing clouds of glory do we come / from god, who is our home: " "earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own; " question 7 (2 points) what is a theme in the poem? question 7 options: life is full of surprises. childhood is magical. with age comes wisdom. always be compassionate. question 8 (2 points) which lines best support the answer to question 7? question 8 options: "but he beholds the light, and whence it flows, / he sees it in his joy; " "our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: / the soul that rises with us, our life's star," "earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own; / yearnings she hath in her own natural kind," "not in entire forgetfulness, / and not in utter nakedness," question 9 (2 points) how does the structure of the poem affect its meaning? question 9 options: the stanzas are sequenced to list the different stages of life and how the speaker’s thinking changed in each stage. each stanza compares the similarities in the way that the speaker and his children interact with the world. each stanza begins by explaining the speaker’s view of life as a child and ends with how that view has changed now that he is an adult. the stanzas build upon one another to convey how a child could benefit by considering the world from the perspective of an adult. question 10 (2 points) how does the image of “the prison-house” closing on “the growing boy” affect the poem’s meaning? question 10 options: it demonstrate that the human soul begins enclosed and must be freed by experience and the pursuit of knowledge. it convey how the world increasingly closes off our access to the divine as we age. it reinforce the idea that youth is a time when one is limited and confined in ways that are negative. it foreshadow that the growing boy will probably end up in jail.
