Which two words enhance the setting in this poem? War by Ellen Glasgow Ripples of ribbons borne on high, Bloodstains upon a brazen sky; From cannon belching on the plain, Fire that by fire is fought again. A flash where steel by steel is met; A fume of smoke and blood and sweat. Sharp from the smeared and trodden gorse The death-cry of a wounded horse. Dust of a plain ground into red By armies of majestic dead. Gaunt shadows on the changeless sky, A flock of vultures swarming nigh. Mid ashes where a hearth has stood, Children that cry aloud for food. Where green the peaceful highways run, A woman ravished in the sun. And far across the reeking sod A Nation sounding thanks to God.

The group of sentences best uses a variety of sentence patterns to convey meaning and relationship between ideas he jumped at the sudden noise, but no one was behind him. So he kept walking, glancing back over his shoulder to make sure he was alone.
What is noise?Noise is an unwanted sound considered unpleasant, loud or disruptive to hearing. From a physics standpoint, there is no distinction between noise and desired sound, as both are vibrations through a medium, such as air or water. The difference arises when the brain receives and perceives a sound.
Acoustic noise is any sound in the acoustic domain, either deliberate or unintended. In contrast, noise in electronics may not be audible to the human ear and may require detection instruments. In audio engineering, noise can refer to the unwanted residual electronic noise signal that gives rise to acoustic noise heard as a hiss.
This signal noise is commonly measured using A-weighting or ITU-R 468 weighting.

Which word best completes the passage above? (5 points)
Attentive
Bored
Nervous
Noisy
Please answer correctly, I will mark brainliest if I get this correct.
Answer:
A. Attentive.
Explanation:
The baseball whizzed by my bat and the umpire called "Strike!" The crowd was silent but attentive as the pitcher prepared to throw what could be the final pitch of the championships.
In order to qualify the noun "crowd" and complement the action they were engaged in; an adjective such as "attentive" would be used.
Also, since the pitcher was throwing what could be considered to be the final pitch of the championships, the crowd would be attentive to see what the outcome is i.e whether or not it may lead to the opposition team earning a point.

Annabel Lee by Edgar Allab Poe (summary interpretation)
Text and Annotations
It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE; 5 And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.
Tell me what the symbolism here.
Answer:
I'm not entirely sure- but you could say that the symbolism was saying that she "lived with no other thought then to love and be loved by me". I'm sure they loved each other a lot but she didn't literally have no other thought. I suppose that's more exaggeration but it can work for symbolism too I think?
Explanation:
sorry if it's wrong.
HEY THERE!
THE SYMBOLISM (I somehow found it on GoogIe) is "Annabel Lee" because she is a symbol of Edgar Allan Poe's dead wife, Virginia Poe. The sea wind gives "Annabel" a chill that kills her. SO, you could put "The symbolism is Annabel Lee which represents Edgar Allan Poe's dead wife, Virginia Poe."
