The isolation of individuals  best describes the modernist theme reflected in the poem.

B

Explanation

The theme is clearly shown in the poem, for instance, when the poet says they go to pity since their friend has abandoned them.

The poet is trying to demonstrate how the individuals have been isolated.

There are diverse categories of persons, for instance, the rich and the poor, those who are married and those not.

The divisions, therefore, are the sources of isolation and make individual from low living standards and those who are not married to form their isolated group.

hancock was president of congress when the declaration of independence was adopted and signed. he is primarily remembered by americans for his large, flamboyant signature on the declaration, so much so that "john hancock" became, in the united states, an informal synonym for signature.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
