After reading Anne Bradstreet's poem "To My Dear and Loving Husband," we can choose the following concerning the structural similarities of the first 3 lines:

D. The repetition of "If ever... then..." emphasizes the narrator's message of love as a commitment, similar to the repetition found in wedding vows.

The first three lines in the poem:First, let's read the three lines we are to analyze here:

If ever two were one, then surely we.

If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.

If ever wife was happy in a man,

Now, let's work by eliminating the options that do not seem in accordance to the lines.We can eliminate option A because the speaker clearly does not have a stern tone. Quite the opposite, she expresses sweetness as she expresses her love for her husband.We can also eliminate option B since the tone is not humorous and the speaker is not addressing someone she does not know. Again, this poem is expressing her love for her husband.We can eliminate option C as well. The tone is not solemn and the speaker is not emotionally confused. She knows she loves her husband, and that is what she conveys.Therefore, the correct option is letter D. The speaker is conveying a message of love, and the repetition of "If ever... then..." reminds the audience of wedding vows.

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.
