Characteristics of a Poem: Mastery Test
The Raven
by Edgar Allen Poe (adapted excerpt)
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
'Tis some visitor,'I muttered, tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more.'
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its form upon the floor
Eagerly I wished the morrow; -- vainly I had sought to borrow
Select the correct answer.

OA

OB
why Lenore has left

Read the rough-draft paragraph. exercising daily is one of the best ways to the body fight fatigue, illness, stress, and weight gain. whether taking a bike ride, enjoying a walk, or going for a swim, the type of activity is not as important as exercising consistently. often, people begin the new year with the resolution of exercising, but within a few months that commitment is quickly forgotten. the key is to choose something that is accessible, enjoyable, and affordable. exercising just thirty minutes a day not only strengthens the heart and lungs, but it also to boost one’s energy. another way to feel more energized is to eat a balanced diet. since no single food item can supply the body with everything it needs, it is important to eat a variety of foods. so to maintain a long, happy life, get out there and get moving, and enjoy a wide range of healthy meals. which statement best describes the mistake the writer makes in this paragraph?
