Read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." let us go then, you and i, when the evening is spread out against the sky like a patient etherized upon a table; let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, the muttering retreats of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels and sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: streets that follow like a tedious argument of insidious intent to lead you to an overwhelming question . .  oh, do not ask, “what is it? ” let us go and make our visit. in the room the women come and go talking of michelangelo. the excerpt is an example of what type of narration? a-dramatic monologue b-dramatic dialogue c-second person, limited d-third person, all-knowing

The correct answer is A. Dramatic monologue

Explanation:

A dramatic monologue refers to a type of poem that resembles a speech and is delivered by a character or individual from his or her own perspective and that because of this uses the pronoun "I" or "we" in opposition to the pronouns "he", "she", "it" in third-person narratives. Besides this, a dramatic monologue is usually one that contains reflections of the character about certain aspects. This can be identified in the excerpt presented because despite the content might look like a speech it contains poetry elements such as verses and rhyme. Also, this is told from the perspective of a character as in "Let us go then, you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky" and reflects on different aspects as in "Streets that follow like a tedious argument of insidious intent" which are all features of dramatic monologue.

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.
