Barry got a samll sandwich for lunch and ate 1/2 of his sandwich. Jonah got a large sandwich and ate 1/2 of his sandwich. Did Jonah and Barry eat the same amount for lunch?Explain how you know.

no they did not

Explanation:

Just because they both ate half does not mean that ate the same amount. it depends on the initial amount.  since barry got a small sandwich and jonah got a large sandwich, jonah ate more that barry. a easy way to visualize this is with numbers. lets just say for example that the amount barry had was 4 and the amount jonah had was 6. since barry ate half, his 4 is now a 2, and since jonah also ate half, his 6 is now a 3. 3 is greater than 2, there for jonah ate more

hey !

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
