She winks a feeble eye,
She smiles into corners.
She smoothes the hair of the grass.
The moon has lost her memory.
The French line “La lune ne garde aucune rancune” translates to “The moon never holds a grudge.”
Which best describes the meaning of this line?
A. The narrator has met people he wants to forget.
B. Each night is new; previous events do not matter.
C. The narrator has met people he wants to remember.
D. Each night is the same, repeating events.
Each night is new; previous events do not matter.
The translation says that "the moon never holds a grudge." This tells us the moon does not hold on to previous events, so they don't matter. The poem states "the moon has lost her memory" which also indicates whatever happened previously is not important. A and C can be eliminated immediately. Option D is wrong because even though it states what the moon does at night, the speaker doesn't use any words to suggest it happens every night. Also, we know that the moon does actually change throughout the course of the month changing shape and the amount of moonlight that is available.
She made three paces thro' the room, .
She saw the water lily bloom, .
She saw the helmet and the plume, .
She look'd down to Camelot. .
Out flew the web and floated wide; .
The mirror crack'd from side to side; .
\"The curse is come upon me,\" cried .

b.) A YouTube video interview with a park ranger in Kenya
c.) A book published in 1970 by a soldier trained to protect elephants
d.) An editorial article on nationalparkstraveler.com
The correct answer is C. A book published in 1970 by a soldier trained to protect elephants
Explanation:
In the case of historical sources or sources that describe events in the past, a source is considered as credible usually when it is a primary source which means the source was written by someone that experienced or witness the event studied. Additionally, the author of the source needs to be an expert on the area or someone related to the event and the source should provide information about the event studied. This implies in the case of looking for information about early efforts to stop elephant poaching a historical source or a source written in the past would provide this information, but this also needs to be written by someone that is an expert or is related to the event and therefore, the source with credible information is "A book published in 1970 by a soldier trained to protect elephants" because this address the topic that is being studied but also is credible because it was written by someone that directly participated in the efforts to stop poaching.
