  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Identify the rhyme scheme of the following verse:

    Let them buy your big eyes,
    In the secret earth securely,
    Your thin fingers and your fair,
    Soft, indefinite-coloured hair,
    All of these in some way, surely,
    From the secret earth shall rise;
    Not for these I sit and stare;
    Broken and bereft completely:
    Your young flesh that sat so neatly
    On your little bones will sweetly
    Blossom in the air.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Identify the rhyme scheme of the following verse:

    Stay, O sweet, and do not rise!
    The light that shines comes from thine eyes;
    The day breaks not: it is my heart,
    Because that you and I must part.
    Stay! Or else my joys will die
    And perish in their infancy.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Identify the rhyme scheme in the following poem:

    Sunset and evening star,
    And one clear call for me!
    And may there be no moaning of the bar,
    When I put out to sea,

    But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
    Too full for sound and foam,
    When that which drew from out the boundless deep
    Turns again home.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Identify the rhyme scheme in the following verse:

    Promise me no promises,
    So I will not promise you:
    Keep we both our liberties,
    Never false and never true:
    Let us hold the die uncast,
    Free to come as free to go:
    For I cannot know your past,
    And of mine what can you know?

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Identify the rhyme scheme of the following verses:

    Twirling your blue skirts, travelling the sward
    Under the towers of your seminary,
    Go listen to your teachers old and contrary
    Without believing a word.

    Tie the white fillets then about your hair
    And think no more of what will come to pass
    Than bluebirds that go walking on the grass
    And chattering on the air.

    [/passage-header]Cozette could have been a pretty child, but she was thin and pale and her eyes were stained with weeping. She was dressed in her thin torn cotton dress and she shivered all the time. Here and there on her body were blue marks from the beatings that her mistress had given her. Her naked legs were red and rough. When she spoke, her voice trembled. Everything about the child, her looks, her behavior, her speech, her silence, every small gesture she made, showed a terrible fear. She was so afraid that, even though she was wet through, she dared not go near the fire to warm herself, but sat shivering in a corner of the room.

    Discussions on drug addiction should also be concerned with the vast majority of people who are not addicts. Their homes and lives are insecure because our narcotics laws drive such people to crime. The drug addict is almost never dangerous when he is under the influence of drugs. What makes him dangerous is the desperate need for money to buy the next dose. Drugs are available only in an illegal black market. The costs are stupendous, and this is what drives the addict to steal, rob and even kill.

    Read the passage and accordingly, fill in the blank:
    Even in the most primitive societies, the great majority of people satisfy a large part of their material needs by exchanging goods and services. Very few people indeed can make for themselves everything they need - all their food, their clothes, their housing, their tools. Ever since men started living in communities, they have been satisfying their needs by means of specialization and exchange; increasingly each individual has concentrated on what he can do best and has produced more of the special goods or services in which he has concentrated than he can consume himself. The surplus, he has exchanged with other members of the community, acquiring, in exchange the things he needs that others have produced.

    [passage-header]Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows: [/passage-header]I came home from vacation to find that my brother Ron had brought a dog while I was away. A big burly, choleric dog, he always acted as if he thought I wasn't one of the family. There was a slight advantage in being one of the family. For he didn't bite the family as often as he bit strangers. Mother used to send a box of candy every Christmas to the people he bit. The list finally contained forty or more names. Nobody could understand why we didn't get rid of the dog!
