Which line from the poem best supports the inference that the narrator wishes to be buried in the coat? Béranger's "To My Old Coat" by Eugene Field Still serve me in my age, I pray, As in my youth, O faithful one; For years I've brushed thee every day— Could Socrates have better done? 5 What though the fates would wreak on thee The fulness of their evil art? Use thou philosophy, like me— And we, old friend, shall never part! I think—I often think of it— 10 The day we twain first faced the crowd; My roistering friends impeached your fit, But you and I were very proud! Those jovial friends no more make free With us (no longer new and smart), 15 But rather welcome you and me As loving friends that should not part. The patch? Oh, yes—one happy night— "Lisette," says I, "it's time to go"— 20 She clutched this sleeve to stay my flight, Shrieking: "What! leave so early? No!" To mend the ghastly rent she'd made, Three days she toiled, dear patient heart! And I—right willingly I staid— Lisette decreed we should not part! 25 No incense ever yet profaned This honest, shiny warp of thine, Nor hath a courtier's eye disdained Thy faded hue and quaint design; 30 Let servile flattery be the price Of ribbons in the royal mart— A roadside posie shall suffice For us two friends that must not part! Fear not the recklessness of yore Shall re-occur to vex thee now; 35 Alas, I am a youth no more— I'm old and sere, and so art thou! So bide with me unto the last And with thy warmth caress this heart That pleads, by memories of the Past, 40 That two such friends should never part!

[1] nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas. tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the sierras and coastwise hills. the yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. after its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. but it isn't always this way. before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap. the indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? . to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant to emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are to explain when and where the plant grows to show how afraid the author is of the plant
