What type of verse is “The New Colossus,” and how does its structure contribute to the overall effect of the poem?

It is a sonnet

Explanation:

"The New Colossus" is a poem that was written by Emma Lazarus and she wrote it in 1883 to try and raise money for the Statue of Liberty's construction.

The structure of the poem contributes to the overall effect of the poem by comparing and contrasting the symbols for splendor and empire with the Statue of Liberty, which she called a "New" Colossus and which signified female strength and power.

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)
