Read the first stanza of "Auspex."

My heart, I cannot still it,
Nest that had song-birds in it;
And when the last shall go,
The dreary days to fill it,
Instead of lark or linnet,
Shall whirl dead leaves and snow.

The speaker compares his heart to an empty nest in order to
a. emphasize the fact that his love has left.
b. describe a physical feeling he is experiencing.
c. illustrate the positive qualities of his love.
d. explain the types of birds that he favors.

Answer:

A Emphasize the fact his love has left

The speaker compares his heart to an empty nest in order to emphasize the fact that his love has left. The correct option is a.

A nest is a structure built for certain animals to hold eggs or young. Although nests are most closely associated with birds, members of all classes of vertebrates and some invertebrates construct nests.

They may be composed of organic material such as twigs, grass, and leaves, or maybe a simple depression in the ground, or a hole in a rock, tree, or building. Human-made materials, such as string, plastic, cloth, or paper, may also be used. Nests can be found in all types of habitats. Nest building is driven by a biological urge known as the nesting instinct in birds and mammals. Generally, each species has a distinctive style of nest.

Nest complexity is roughly correlated with the level of parental care by adults.

the roads were________ after the rainstorm.​

A cry went up from the pack running after him when he fell. There was tension and hysteria in that concerted cry. And other things too, but he scarcely thought about it at all. Three women fell out of the race and clutched their sides and laughed; one of them fell on the sidewalk laughing like that, her belly puffing up huge with laughter, and subsiding again, letting it go.

5 He scrambled up to his feet, their cries in his ears, spurring him on; he must run, run until he dropped, going God knows where. He scrambled to his feet, his fingers clawing the asphalt, stumbled on, sounds filling his ears... shriek of a locomotive whistle...coming up, rising to a pitch, and going away...he turned the corner into the street that was at right angles to the one he had come down from the Slaughter House gates...he was running blind before, reacting to the compulsion of his fear...but now he saw his objective and it lent his effort purpose...a long line of freight cars was coming down from the railway yard along the lines that ran across the street, going towards No. 1 Pier.

The gates were lowered across the street stopping traffic; all he had to do was to get across the lines before that string of freight cars. They would cut off his pursuit for the time it would take that long train to cross the street. Trains always slowed down going into the dockyard; sometimes stopped, straddling the street. All he had to do was to get across.

The man operating the gate yelled at him. He paid no heed. He had balanced it in his mind to a nicety, figured he'd just have time to get across. He went under the gate. Voices shouted in his ears...the scream of the locomotive whistle rising to a crescendo...he paid no heed. The train was hurtling towards him, but he had time, he could make it.

DIRECTIONS: Read the passage below. Then, answer the questions that follow.
Because Asha is my best friend, I agreed to let her use my car to run an errand. I told her
I had to leave for work at 5:00. She promised to be back by then. At 5:15, she still had not
returned. I was furious! Is this how she repays me for my kindness? Finally, at 5:30, she pulled
into the driveway. "I'm sorry I'm late," she said. "I spent the whole afternoon at the tire shop.
One of your tires had a nail in it, and it was going flat. Don't worry, though. I had it fixed for
you." I felt ashamed of myself for not trusting my friend. I called my boss and told her I'd be a
little late because of car trouble.
