Read the following excerpt from T. S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock":
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
of insidious intent
What is one purpose of the symbolism used in this passage?
O A. To draw a connection between the speaker and the reader
O O O
O B. To link two unlike concepts: an etherized patient and a table
C. To make an oyster seem like a peer to the speaker
D. To portray an urban setting as a place of loneliness and isolation

D. To portray an urban setting as a place of loneliness and isolation

Explanation: just took the test

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war

the dictionary definition of ubiquitous is "present, appearing, or found everywhere".
