5. which of these excerpts is most clearly an example of apostrophe? (1 point) "bird thou never wert,/that from heaven or near it…" "higher still and higher/from the earth thou springest…" "like a poet hidden/in the light of thought…" "the blue mediterranean, where he lay…"

The correct answer is B: "Higher still and higher/From the earth thou springest..."

Explanation:

Apostrophe is a figure of speech that has the purpose, and intention, of working almost as an exclamation, and it is used as a literary technique in plays, and most commonly in poetry, as a means to indicate that the speaker has broken away from the main audience and now directs his thoughts and words towards an abstract, or absent individual, or object, who cannot respond, and is only almost idealized by the speaker. In this case, the second option allows the reader to see that the speaker has almost lost himself and seems as if he were talking to a third party, a ghost, or someone imaginary, most likely what he imagines will spring from the earth. This is why the answer is the second one.

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.
