Read the excerpt and then answer the question that follows. "turning and turning in the widening gyre the falcon cannot hear the falconer; things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the world," what does this excerpt from yeats' “the second coming” describe?

a. the rebellion against an evil leader
b. the punishment for a crime not committed
c. the chaos of a new age's beginning
d. the personal loss felt when death occurs

C. the chaos of a new age's beginning

Explanation:

Yeats describes in the excerpt a vision of chaotic things happening, and the world loosing control, a gyre is an upward spyral that continues to the infinity and usually falcons fly in circles only to fall again into their falconer´s hand, but this one can´t hear the falconer, so he is trapped in that spyral forever, he then sees the centre falling apart, which is a reference to the governments and centralized order, what´s next is just the chaos, of the destruction and the anarchic process of reconstruction.

i love romeo and xo

it is a!

not b because i don't see how this would make them look dangerous..

not c because that just doesn't make sense..

and not d because this too doesn't make sense, it does not really put the audience on edge in my opinion.

a makes the most sense, romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. obviously if he says that if he stays, he will be at risk, so of course this makes the audience worry for his safety!

answer is a) romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety.
