Read the third stanza of "because i could not stop for death."

we passed the school, where children strove
at recess – in the ring –
we passed the fields of gazing grain –
we passed the setting sun –

why does dickinson most likely repeat the word “passed” three times in this stanza?
the words convey a sense of steady motion.
the words indicate the speaker’s loneliness.
the words indicate that the carriage is moving quickly.
the words show that the speaker is undergoing inner growth.

The words convey a sense of steady motion.

Explanation:

In this poem, the author describes the journey she experienced as she travelled with Death. We can assume that the author has passed away and is heading towards the afterlife. The idea of being unable to stop, as well as the idea of Death carrying the speaker, is emphasized by the feeling of steady motion that is built through the repetition of the word "passed."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

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.
