What action should you never take when selecting quotations?
a. choosing the fewest words needed
b. changing the meaning of the qoutation by changing the context
c. quoting long passages (block qoutations) rarely
d. adjusting the sentence to fit the grammar of the quotation

The answer is:

B. Changing the meaning of the quotation by changing the context.

Because changing the meaning of the quotation by changing the context constitutes a case of intellectual dishonesty.

write a five paragraph essay, you were taught to have three body paragraphs. a university essay is more flexible than that, depending on its length and on what it is trying to say. a short university essay may have three body paragraphs, but it may have more.

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
