Correct answer only !

which lines from the poem show that the sea is cruel but has a facade of beauty and warmth?

a) the dead leaves are varnished
with color like blood

b) the sea creeps to pillage,
she leaps on her prey

c) to wash her long fingers
in silvery light

d) a savage beguiler
in sheathings of silk

D) A savage beguiler

In sheathings of silk

The lines chosen must show that the sea is cruel but it seems as though it's not. The word beguile means to enchant something in a deceptive way. By describing the sea as a savage beguiler, it gives the sea the image of something that is fierce, but not seen as fierce. It's seemingly calm beauty, like silk, tricks one into thinking that it is calm.

The other options do not work. Option A only creates a negative image. Option B also only creates a negative image of the sea as a predator. Option C personifies the sea as having fingers, but doesn't show it's cruel nature.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
