"an account of dr. swift has been already collected, with great diligence and acuteness, by dr. hawkesworth, according to a scheme which i laid before him in the intimacy of our friendship. i cannot therefore be expected to say much of a life, concerning which i had long since communicated my thoughts to a man capable of dignifying his narrations with so much elegance of language and force of sentiment. jonathan swift was, according to an account said to be written by himself, the son of jonathan swift, an attorney, and was born at dublin on st. andrew's day, 1667: according to his own report, as delivered by pope to spence, he was born at leicester, the son of a clergyman who was minister of a parish in herefordshire. during his life the place of his birth was undetermined. he was contented to be called an irishman by the irish; but would occasionally call himself an englishman. the question may, without much regret, be left in the obscurity in which he delighted to involve it." what effect is accomplished through the author's choice to begin his account with this paragraph? a) it shows the author is bored with the subject b) it establishes that the author knew jonathan swift c) it lets the reader know not to take his account seriously d) it creates conflict between the author and swift’s biographer

Select the correct answer. lyric poems often deal with intense emotions. which statement best describes the shift in emotion in "lift every voice and sing" as it moves from the first into the second stanza? lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of liberty; let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us, facing the rising sun of our new day begun let us march on till victory is won. stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our fathers sighed? we have come over a way that with tears has been watered, we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. a. the joyful call of the first stanza gives way to a bitter recounting of history in the second. b. the first stanza's anger is replaced by the second stanza's resignation. c. the poem moves from a sense of wonder in the first stanza toward a sense of perplexity in the second. d. there is no change between the first stanza and the second. the emotions are the same in both.
