The correct answer is B. Skimming is when you look quickly over the text and scanning is when you look for something specific in the text.

Explanation:

Skimming and scanning are both reading techniques. On one hand, skimming is usually used before reading a text and is about looking quickly at the text, especially at titles, images, key ideas, etc. to try to know the general topic and focus on the text. On the other hand, scanning is used after reading or in some cases during reading and is about looking in the text for specific details or information. Therefore, the difference between skimming and scanning is that "Skimming is when you look quickly over the text and scanning is when you look for something specific in the text".

1.   in sonnet 18, the speaker wants to describe the beauty of his love, but can’t find the words to do so. the speaker says “then in mid-utterance the lay was lost” when he tries to think of the words to describe his love’s beauty.   through his defeat of finding words to describe his love, he shows his love for her.

2.   instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her.   at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.
