Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct sentences are:

"Lyric poems express personal thoughts and emotions"

"Lyric poems are short and have a musical quality".

Explanation:

Lyric poetry is a ceremonial type of poetry which expresses personal emotions or feelings, typically spoken in the first person. The term derives from a form of Ancient Greek literature, the lyric, which was defined by its musical accompaniment, usually on a stringed instrument known as a lyre. The lyric poem is separated from narrative and dramatic forms of poetry. It is compact and gives a subjective and emotional message from the poet to the proofreader adroitly.

Answer 2
Answer: The correct sentences are:
"Lyric poems express personal thoughts and emotions"
"Lyric poems are short and have a musical quality".

The second is less seen in modern times, but early lyrical poems which were followed by a lyre were sung as lyrical songs, way back in ancient Greece.

In this excerpt from “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats, which parts reflect the theme that art is immortal?Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd,
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:
Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave
Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;
Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve;
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!



1.Heard melodies are sweet,
2.ye soft pipes, play on
3.Pipe to the spirit ditties
4.nor ever can those trees be bare;
5.winning near the goal
6.do not grieve
7.She cannot fade
8.thou hast not thy bliss
9.For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!

can choose all that apply ! I think its 7 & 8 but not sure on the rest!

Answers

In this excerpt from “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats, parts which reflect the theme that art is immortal are:

2.ye soft pipes, play on

4.nor ever can those trees be bare;

7. She cannot fade

9. Forever wilt thou love, and she be fair!

The effects of decay and erosion are survived by the urn and the images on it are frozen in time, therefore the poem exists as long as the readers read this poem. The poem can be passed orally or can be written, therefore, it is immortal. Keats suggests the value of immortality. He says that the melodies are heard for a temporary moment, whereas it's sweeter melodies are there to imagine anytime and cannot fade away.

Keats suggests that things do not live as they speak, similarly the lover's kiss each other always , but they never do. Keats shows multiple images which are frozen in time and immortal being not alive but stays in imaginations forever.

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "7.She cannot fade; 8.thou hast not thy bliss; 4.nor ever can those trees be bare." In this excerpt from “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats, these are the parts that reflect the theme that art is immortal.

A subordinate clause is also popularly known as the dependent clause. It starts with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun and has both complete set of subject and verb. Though it has a subject and a verb it still does not form a complete thought urging readers ask for more information to understand the thought. The subordinated clause in the statement above is "who had not studied the lessons failed the test". "Who" is the relative pronoun and at the same time the subject while failed is the verb.
