Select ALL the correct text in the passage.
In this excerpt from Anne Bradstreet's "Before the Death of One of Her Children," which two lines best support the claim that religion was an important topic for colonial authors?
How soon, my Dear, death may my steps attend.
How soon't may be thy lot to lose thy friend,
We both are ignorant, yet love bids me
These farewell lines to recommend to thee,
That when that knot's untied that made us one,
I may seem thine, who in effect am none.
And if I see not half my days that's due,
What nature would, God grant to yours and you;
The many faults that well you know

Respuesta :

Answer: The two lines that best support this claim are - "knot's untied that made us one" and "God grant to yours and you".

Explanation:

The theme of Anne Bradstreet's poem " Before the Birth of One of Her Children" is that people cannot avoid death, and should spend this valuable time on Earth in a best way possible.

At the time the poem was written, religion was very important. Christianity was, according to the settlers, superior to all other religions. It is, therefore, not surprising that the literature in the colonial era often contains religious references. These are also included in Bradstreet's poems, in which God is frequently referred to.
