read this excerpt from “the r*pe of the lock” by alexander pope. rephrase pope's words to clarify the meaning of each line. you need not rewrite every word, but your version should make the meaning of the original text clear.

what dire offence from am'rous causes springs,
what mighty contests rise from trivial things,
i sing — this verse to caryll, muse! is due:
this, ev'n belinda may vouchsafe to view:
slight is the subject, but not so the praise,
if she inspire, and he approve my lays.

say what strange motive, goddess! could compel
a well-bred lord t' assault a gentle belle?
o say what stranger cause, yet unexplor'd,
could make a gentle belle reject a lord?
in tasks so bold, can little men engage,
and in soft bosoms dwells such mighty rage?

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )

i believe it is the first choice (1.)

because the major theme is(“both the wild and civilization have rules.”)

and also as u said,( based on what buck learns within the call of the wild, "both the wild and civilization have rules".this is true of humans within society as well.

hello, i belive you can. i once answered a question in russian and its still up so i guess you can.
