Respuesta :

1: That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd,

(excerpt from “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats)

C: overly sentimental

“High-sorrowful” is extreme feeling of sadness while “cloyed” means sickened or some feelings of dizziness. These words are showing an atmosphere of an overly sentimental mood. The choice of these words is rightly suggestive of a feeling of extreme loneliness or mourning.

 

2: One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impaired the nameless grace

(excerpt from “She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron)

A: partially damaged

The pairing of “one… more” and “one… less” as well as the use of the word “half” show some kind of partial or incomplete thing. Moreover, the use of “impaired” which means damaged strengthens the meaning of the line to mean partially damaged.

 

3: What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?

What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?

(excerpt from “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats)

B: reluctant or unwilling

There appears to be a confusion about the beings mentioned as either “men,” “gods,” or “maidens.” The action is about “pursuit” or running after something; but this is followed by the phrase “struggle to escape.” Thus, putting the meanings of the words by context, the appropriate meaning would be reluctant or unwilling.

The expressions of feeling are expressed in the form of sentences below.  The sentences have the attribute of damaging, unwilling, and sentimental context in nature.

   

The matching pairs are explained below:

1. Cloy'd - overly sentimental

  • "High-sorrowful" indicates "very unhappy," while "cloyed" means "sickened" or "feeling dizzy."
  • These words convey an overly emotional atmosphere.
  • The choice of these words accurately conveys a sense of severe sadness.

2. Half impaired - partially damaged

  • The use of the words "one... more" and "one... less," as well as the word "half," all indicate that something is incomplete or partial.
  • Furthermore, the word "impaired," which implies "damaged," adds to the line's connotation of "partially damaged."

   

3. Loth - reluctant or unwilling

  • There appears to be some ambiguity over the beings referred to as "men," "gods," or "maidens."
  • The action is around "pursuit," or running after something, yet it is followed by the phrase "fight to flee."
  • When the meanings of the terms are considered in context, the right meaning is reluctant or unwilling.
