What is the most effective way to improve the organization of this passage? Say Yes to the SAT

(1) Some people are afraid of the SAT because of what it measures: general intelligence. (2)There is no need for fear, however, because as this essay will show, the SAT is a good general intelligence test. (3) Researchers at the University of Minnesota found that the SAT is not only an accurate predictor of how a student will fare during his or her first year of college but also a reliable predictor of how a student will do during all four years of college.
(4) There is no denying that sometimes the SAT does not do its job. (5) Occasionally, a student who earns a high SAT score ends up flunking out of college. (6) Occasionally, a student who earns a low SAT score ends up in Phi Beta Kappa (a collegiate academic honor society) and graduates with highest honors. (7) The SAT is not perfect, but that is not a reason to get rid of it.
(8) Like it or not, the general intelligence for which the SAT tests is what will separate students who will do well and fit in at schools such as Harvard and Princeton from students who will be better off attending community college first. (9) Unfortunately, hard work is not always enough, and that is why the SAT is here to stay.
(10) Naysayers do not like the idea of a test that cannot be mastered with old-fashioned hard work. (11) In school, a student who devotes hours and hours of time to studying for a course can typically raise his or her grade. (12) If the same student devotes just as much time to studying for the SAT, his or her score will not increase significantly.

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.

a question like this requires the excerpt to be included in order to answer the question.

the answer is camped

the correct answer is d. a discussion of specific uses of alliteration

.

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.
