Which words does rich use in her poem that most clearly express her
attitude about americans?
oa) darkening and quiet
ob) intense and enormous

Hi, I'm afraid that your question is incomplete since you don't mention the author, nor you mention the name of the poem for us to look for it online. I did a little research online anyways, but it was impossible to find something with this information. Anyway, I'll try to help you find the correct answer.

Explanation:

The first thing to do here is to carefully read the poem, then try to identify how the speaker talks about Americans, how the author describes them, how she approaches the theme. By doing this, you'll realize what the author thinks about Americans, pay attention to what the author calls them: darkening and quiet? Intense and enormous? Who is the author referring to when she/he writes these words?

When you answer these questions, you'll have your task solved.

You'll do great, trust yourself!

assuming the underlined word is "regnant", the correct answer is b) ruling.

"valley of salt tears" and "dark, deep and foggy" are two images used to establish a mood of uncertainty and regret. this imagery is made up of sensory appeals to brings up   theological concerns of sin and retribution.

they conjure up the human   uncertainty about the divine and its relationship to the world.
