A.

B.

C.

D.

How many sentences would be included if the following lines from “Mowing” were read aloud? There was never a sound beside the wood but one, And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground.
A. none
B. one
C. two
D. three

Answers

I believe its C. two

Answer: b. one

Explanation:

Read the passage from "Ode on a Grecian Urn."

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd,
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone

Keats uses the phrase "spirit ditties" to describe the

a. music the gods on the urn favor the most.
b. songs the people on the urn appear to be playing.
c. music created by blowing across the top of the urn.
d. songs that were popular at the time the urn was made.

Answers

Answer: b. songs the people on the urn appear to be playing.

In these lines, the speaker tells the musicians to play not to the physical ear, but to the spiritual one. This is a metaphorical ear that is meant to be receiving the music of the pipes. He tells us that these songs are "ditties of no tone," which means that the songs do not have tones or notes. They cannot be played, because they are imaginary. Therefore, the author is talking about the songs that the people on the urn are playing, which are similarly imaginary and cannot be heard with the "physical" ear.

Final answer:

In "Ode on a Grecian Urn," Keats's phrase 'spirit ditties' alludes to the eternal music played by the figures on the urn, which exist beyond the realm of the heard melodies, capturing the essence of eternal beauty and truth.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats, the phrase "spirit ditties" refers to a kind of music that transcends the physical realm, hinting at the eternal and ideal rather than the transient nature of experienced reality. The correct answer to the student’s question is:

b. songs the people on the urn appear to be playing.

Keats imagines these melodies as sweeter because they are eternal and unchanging, unlike the heard melodies that are subject to the limitations of time and change. The melodies are described as 'spirit ditties of no tone' suggesting they exist on a spiritual level that is felt rather than physically heard, hence revealing the poem's meditation on art's ability to capture and preserve a moment in time forever, offering a glimpse of immortality.

The composer Gabrieli was known for which of the following?

Monophone

Consorts

Antiphon

Madrigals

Answers

The composer, Gabrieli, was known for Madrigals. Madrigals are complex vocal compositions that often do not have instrumental accompaniment. 
Final answer:

Gabrieli, a composer of the Venetian school, was best known for his work with Consorts. His pieces typically involved separate choirs performing in unison, an early form of stereo, distinct from monophone, madrigals, or antiphon.

Explanation:

The composer Gabrieli was primarily known for his exceptional work with Consorts. His composition style was fundamentally tied with the Venetian school, and his musical direction largely impacted polyphonic and polychoral styles. His pieces were typically written for separate choirs to perform in unison, an early form of stereo that he helped pioneer in St. Mark's Basilica. Brutally distinct from monophone, madrigals, or antiphon, Gabrieli's works often involved a larger group of musicians, with the musical material shared among the members of different choirs.

how might the right guaranteed in Amendment 1 stated as a basic constitutional principle

Answers

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights.
Final answer:

The First Amendment protects fundamental rights such as freedom of speech and religion, which are essential for democracy. Courts interpret these rights, which can adapt over time. The Ninth and Tenth Amendments also ensure a broad spectrum of protected rights and balance of power between federal and state governments.

Explanation:

The First Amendment, as a basic constitutional principle, ensures freedom of speech, religion, press, and assembly. It embodies the essential rights that enable a democracy to function by allowing citizens to express their views, practice their faiths, or dissent without fear of government reprisal. Courts play a critical role in interpreting the scope of these rights, which can evolve with changing times and technology. In addition, the Ninth Amendment protects rights not explicitly stated in the Constitution, suggesting a broad spectrum of fundamental rights that underpin American democracy. Similarly, the Tenth Amendment ensures a balance of power by reserving rights to the states that have not been delegated to the federal government or explicitly prohibited by the Constitution. These amendments, together with the other provisions of the Bill of Rights, define and protect the liberties that are critical to the American way of life.
