And i shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; there midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, and evening full of the linnet’s wings. in “the lake isle of innisfree” by william butler yeats, how does life at innisfree contrast with the speaker’s current life? a. innisfree is more chaotic and fast-paced. b. innisfree is busier but more joyful. c. innisfree is more complex and less simple. d. innisfree is more calm and peaceful.

The correct answer is D: Innisfree is more calm and peaceful.

In this poem, Yeats describes an actual island which was uninhabited. As such, it was a place of peace and quiet -- therefore any answer which describes Innisfree as chaotic, busy, or complex (Answers A through C) can be eliminated.

Answer D is the only one that remains, and for good reason: this excerpt makes clear that Innisfree is a place of peace. Therefore Answer D is the correct answer.

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.
