“luck is not chance”: what is most likely the speaker’s intent in lines 5-7 of the poem?
“the father of the mine
is that old-fashioned coin
we spurned—“
question 16 options:

a) to show that parents are more likely to dig for coins than their children are

b) to reinforce the theme by stating that a mine only gets dug when someone sees the possibility of getting something out of it

c) to state that coins are old-fashioned and no longer necessary

d) to argue that one will always make a fortune if they work hard looking for money
