Read this excerpt from "the raven." while i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, as of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'tis some visitor," i muttered, "tapping at my chamber door— only this and nothing more." the rhyme of the words "rapping” and "tapping” in this excerpt create a mood of annoyance. chaos. urgency. mystery.

D). Mystery.

Explanation:

The mood is exemplified as the ambiance or atmosphere created by the author to offer an emotional environment that surrounds the audience/readers and help evoke the desired emotional response from them.

In the given excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven", the rhyme of the words 'rapping' and 'tapping' create a mood of 'mystery' and 'terror'. The speaker discusses that someone came there 'tapping suddenly' that offers a 'mystery' and the arrival of an unknown visitor who is knocking at his 'chamber door' constantly troubles him. Thus, these words supplement to create a 'mystery' and hence, option D is the correct answer.

the contrast between a clear and understood meaning is that the clear meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to (understanding/ explanation). an understood meaning is a suggested meaning. kabir's poetry is both clear and understood in that it can be understood/explained on different levels. the clear meaning leaves nothing to (understanding/ explanation) while the understood meaning leaves lots open to (understanding/ explanation). an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the (related to religion or the soul) lover".

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.
