Answer:

The lines from Levertov's "Overheard over S.E. Asia" begin with a rhythm and diction that create a notably flat atmosphere.

Explanation:

Among Levertov's many anti-Vietnam poems, these opening lines exhibit a subdued, almost emotionless mood as the imagery of white phosphorus falling like snow appears. As the poem proceeds, the tone evolves from this flat introduction into a more dynamic and intense expression.

What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar? Select
hammer [7621]

Answer:

B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"

D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"

Explanation:

This information most convincingly suggests that white sugar was not only less common but also more valuable than brown sugar. If producing dark or brown sugar is simpler, it logically follows that its value would be lower. The description of white sugar as pure and sweet elevates its worth above that of brown sugar.

Rhyme and rhythm. The author incorporated these two sound elements to accentuate the musicality of the poem. The rhyme pattern follows an alternating structure (abab cdcd efef). While the rhyme may not be flawless, the intention to create rhyme is evident. Similarly, the rhythm can be discerned, although not perfect, as each line typically consists of 8 syllables, with a few at 7. This uniformity of syllables contributes to a consistent beat when reading the lines.
