Via poem The Song of Wandering Aengus

Which line in the first stanza of the poem suggest that the speaker was having lots of new ideas?

A. “I went out to the hazel wood”

B. “Because a fire was in my head”

C. “ And Moth-like stars were flickering out”

D. “I dropped the berry in a stream”

B.

Explanation:

The answer is 'B' because 'C' doesn't have anything to do with this. 'D' suggests he was trying to catch something in the water, and there is no context behind why 'A' would be the answer. Also, there is no way a fire was literally on his head. That means you can infer that he was thinking of a lot of things. That only leaves B to be the answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
