Answer 1
Answer: In poetry, letters such as a, b, c, etc. are assigned to represent the rhyme that occurs at the end of a line. When you see the first rhyme pair, you’d label that one ‘a’ since that is the first rhyme. The second rhyme pair would be labeled ‘b,’ and so on…

Let’s take a look at that excerpt from Richard Lovelace's "To Lucasta, Going to the Wars," and please be sure to read it aloud, so you can clearly hear the rhyme.

Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind
To war and arms I fly.

Okay, so when reading this aloud, we can clearly hear that the first rhymes that occur in the excerpt are in line one and line three. They both seem to end with words that end in “ind.” This brings both the words “unkind” and “mind” to rhyme. So, since that’s our first rhyme, we’ll label both those lines with the letter ‘a.’

Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,  {a}
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind  {a}
To war and arms I fly.

Now, if you could please once again read the excerpt so, we could try to hear a second rhyme pair.

While the rhyming isn’t quite strong here, there is a slight rhyme in lines two and four. The end -y in the words “nunnery” and “ fly” do have a (slight) rhyme. So, since this is the second rhyme we have located, we’ll label those lines with the letter ‘b.’

Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,  {a}
That from the nunnery  [b]
Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind  {a}
To war and arms I fly.  [b]

Since there are no more lines in the excerpt to rhyme, this is our final rhyme scheme.

This proves the answer should be c )  abab.

Which of the following excerpts from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" exemplifies Dexter's disillusionment with love?a.He loved her, and he would love her until the day he was too old for loving—but he could not have her. So he tasted the deep pain that is reserved only for the strong, just as he had tasted for a little while the deep happiness.

b.It took place in New York, where he had done well—so well that there were no barriers too high for him. He was thirty-two years old, and, except for one flying trip immediately after the war, he had not been West in seven years.

c.Dexter looked closely at Devlin, thinking wildly that there must be a reason for this, some insensitivity in the man or some private malice.

d.He was one of those young thousands who greeted the war with a certain amount of relief, welcoming the liberation from webs of tangled emotion.

Answers

"a.He loved her, and he would love her until the day he was too old for loving—but he could not have her. So he tasted the deep pain that is reserved only for the strong, just as he had tasted for a little while the deep happiness." is the best option, since in this passage it is clear that although he was once fond of love, he has been hurt too many times to feel it take hold of him in the same way.

In the poem “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, the raven repeats the word nevermore in response to the speaker’s questions. What effect does this response have on the speaker? 1)The speaker feels less disturbed about the loss of Lenore. 2)The speaker’s mental state shifts more and more toward madness.
3)The speaker begins to get a sense of closure about losing Lenore.
4)The speaker goes into a trance and forgets about his pain over Lenore.

Answers

The correct answer is 2) The speaker’s mental state shifts more and more toward madness. 

This is because as the poem closes, the word nevermore occurs in more and more depressing situations because it is the only word the raven can say, and the poet asks him questions to which that can be the only answer. These questions become maddening and more depressing as time goes by.
If you haven't read "The Raven", here's some necessary information you need to know in order to answer this question.

As the speaker, or narrator, thinks about the situation, he starts to hallucinate about angels that appear and swing an “unseen censer.” They even start spreading perfume around the room. He connects the perfume to be something called Nepenthe. This is a mythical drink that works somewhat like an antidepressant. This causes him to cry aloud that nepenthe would help him forget about Lenore. The raven only replies "Nevermore" as it had always been replying before.

This proves that the correct answer should be option 2 )  the speaker's mental state shifts more and more toward madness.
