And indeed there will be time for the yellow smoke that slides along the street, rubbing its back upon the window-panes; there will be time, there will be time to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; there will be time to murder and create, and time for all the works and days of hands that lift and drop a question on your plate; time for you and time for me, and time yet for a hundred indecisions and for a hundred visions and revisions before the taking of a toast and tea. how does repetition affect the tone of the poem? it creates a soothing rhythmic sensation. it emphasizes the narrator’s youthfulness. it creates a sense of confusion and disorder. it explains the conventions of modern society.

In that particular excerpt from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock  by T. S. Eliot, the repetition affects the tone of the poem by creating a soothing rhythmic sensation. It cannot emphasize youthfulness as the narrators in other parts of the poem point out to the passing of time and decaying of matter. It cannot create a sense of confusion and disorder because it focus on the facts individually and isolatedly. It neither can explain conventions of modern society because it relates to specificities between the narrator and his muse.

C is the answer.

the people of renaissance florence, like most city–states of the era, were composed of four social classes: the nobles, the merchants, the tradesmen and the unskilled workers.

the nobles lived on large estates outside the city walls. they owned most of the city’s land, so the nobles controlled. the nobles served as military officers, royal advisers and as politicians.

baldassare castiglione described the proper manners of a noble in the book of the courtier (1528). castiglione wrote that a noble must have training to be an able warrior and social talents such as wit, the ability to dance, and “a certain grace that makes all his activities seem effortless and unconscious.”

the nobles were disdainful of the merchant class, who gained wealth in industries like wool processing, shipbuilding and banking. the merchants sought to protect their wealth by controlling the government and marrying into noble families. they became patrons of great artists in order to gain public favor.

the tradesmen of florence were the crafts workers and shopkeepers. most tradesmen belonged to guilds, organizations that established standards of quality, set rules for membership, and limited outside competition.

the unskilled workers were the lowest class of city workers. these laborers did not have job protection and were very dependent on their employers. workers who violated rules could have their wages withheld or could be discharged from their jobs.
