From "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning ... She had A heart-how shall I say?-too soon made glad, Too easily
Impressed, she liked whate'er She looked on, and her looks went everywhere. Sir, twas all onel My favor at her breast, The
dropping of the daylight in the West, The bough of cherries some officious fool Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule She
rode with round the terrace-all and each would draw from her alike the approving speech, Or blush, at least. She thanked men-
good! but thanked Somehow-I know not how-as if she ranked My gift of a nine-hundred-year-old name with anybody's gift.
In these lines, what complaint does the speaker make about his late wife?
She lacked Intelligence and did not take life seriously,
She lived for the present and had no respect for the past.
She was too free with her appreciation of and enjoyment of others.
She was vain and expected to be showered with attention and gifts.

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
