Read the quotation from "some keep the sabbath going to church." and instead of tolling the bell, for church, our little sexton – sings. what is the most likely reason for the poet to oppose the phrases “tolling the bell” and “sings” in these lines? the poet is expressing her belief that the second, more natural option is far more desirable than the first option. the poet is hinting that religious worship should be considered a gloomy and serious activity. the poet is suggesting that those who worship in nature are more formal than those who worship in church. the poet is contrasting her attitude about religion with her feelings about the natural world, which remains largely unappreciated.

To my mind, the correct answer is: The poet is expressing her belief that the second, more natural option is far more desirable than the first option.

Emily Dickinson suggests that worship can occur in every place, there is no need to do it at a religious building or domain. For this reason, the author makes a comparison between the sound of church bells (worship in church) and the sing of birds (worship in the middle of nature or any place where people are).

the answer is A

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
