If a poet wanted to draw on a theme most people were already familiar with, what could she refer to in her poem? a. a myth b. another poem she wrote c. a popular celebrity d. a little-known short story

A. A myth.

Explanation:

A lot of poets —dealers in words, images, and feelings— often recur to mythology in order to explore familiar themes in a more profound and robust sense, drawing on the significance and meaning of certain myths to exacerbate the sense of the familiar theme they wish to elaborate further. This is an interesting literary resource since it can bring depth to a given theme, distancing it from clichés and stereotypes.

the question concerns exactly this part of the speech:

i am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. property can be paid for; the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be.

president wilson talks about the lives of people destroyed by german army. but these people are not americans, they are the local people living in europe. the president mentions the barbarity of germans, considering that he is not targeting the nation, instead it is said about german army. the correct answer is the last one.
