Read the following poem and answer the question that follows. "I Like to See It Lap the Miles" by Emily Dickinson I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up, And stop to feed itself at tanks; And then, prodigious, step Around a pile of mountains, And, supercilious, peer In shanties by the sides of roads; And then a quarry pare To fit its sides, and crawl between, Complaining all the while In horrid, hooting stanza; Then chase itself down hill And neigh like Boanerges; Then, punctual as a star, Stop—docile and omnipotent— At its own stable door. This poem describes a train as if it were a horse. Examine the imagery of the line in bold. What does it describe? A.) A train stopping to let get fuel and passengers B.) A train showing up late to its home station C.) A train breaking down in the middle of the track D.) A train stopping to let passengers enjoy the view

A.) A train stopping to let get fuel and passengers

Explanation:

From the poem given below, I Like To See It Lap The Miles by Emily Dickinson, a train is described as a horse and it is narrated by the poet how he wants to see the train "lap the miles" and move down the valley before stopping to "feed itself at tanks" which means that the train stopped to get fuel and then move through the mountains, before stopping by the sides of the roads to "fit its sides" which can be interpreted to mean getting passengers.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
