Respuesta :
The correct answer is A) Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
In this verse, Yeats states that the people who are rebelling have gone through so much trouble so far that they see nationalism as their only choice without any possibility of accepting other options and being flexible. They do not question their acts, but stubbornly insist on their ways. They want the change, but only if the change conforms to their ideology.
Answer:
Option #1:
Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
Prompt:
Select the correct text in the passage.
The following excerpt is taken from W.B. Yeats's poem "Easter, 1916," in which he examines his feelings toward those who took part in the Easter Rising in Ireland. Which set of lines suggests that Yeats considered the rebels inflexible?
[Option #1:] Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?
That is Heaven's part, our part
To murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child
When sleep at last has come
On limbs that had run wild.
What is it but nightfall?
No, no, not night but death;
Was it needless death after all?
For England may keep faith
For all that is done and said.
[Option #2:] We know their dream; enough
To know they dreamed and are dead;
[Option #4:] And what if excess of love
Bewildered them till they died?
I write it out in a verse—
MacDonagh and MacBride
And Connolly and Pearse
[Option #5:] Now and in time to be,
Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly
A terrible beauty is born.
Commentary: I hope that this helps you. The Lord bless you and keep you, my friend. Shalom
