In which excerpt from john donne's a valediction forbidding mourning indicates what the speaker does not want his wife to mourn? a. while some of their sad friends do say /the breath goes now b. out two souls therefore, which are one/though i must go, endure not yet c. moving of th' earth brings harm and fears/men reckon what it did d. thy firmness makes my circle just/and makes me end

The answer is: d. thy firmness makes my circle just/and makes me end.

In the poem "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning," the author John Donne reflects on his own death and suggests he does not want his wife to mourn because their love goes beyond the physical world. Thus, he compares their love with a compass: his wife's firmness makes him draw a perfect circle - meaning that she makes him complete. As a result, if she is strong, he soon will be where he belongs.

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)
