Read the excerpt from Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. My next work was to view the country, and seek a proper place for my habitation, and where to stow my goods to secure them from
whatever might happen. Where I was, I yet knew not; whether on the continent or on an island; whether Inhabited or not inhabited;
whether in danger of wild beasts or not. There was a hill not above a mile from me, which rose up very steep and high, and which seemed
to overtop some other hills, which lay as in a ridge from it northward. I took out one of the fowling-pieces, and one of the pistols, and a horn
of powder, and thus armed, I travelled for discovery up to the top of that hill, where, after I had with great labor and difficulty got to the top,
I saw my fate, to my great affliction-viz. that I was in an island environed every way with the sea: no land to be seen except some rocks,
which lay a great way off, and two small islands, less than this, which lay about three leagues to the west.

Read the excerpt from "a defence of poetry.” poetry thus makes immortal all that is best and most beautiful in the world; it arrests the vanishing apparitions which haunt the interlunations of life, and veiling them, or in language or in form, sends them forth among mankind, bearing sweet news of kindred joy to those with whom their sisters abide—abide, because there is no portal of expression from the caverns of the spirit which they inhabit into the universe of things. poetry redeems from decay the visitations of the divinity in man. which details from the excerpt provide more information about shelley’s idea that poetry "makes immortal all that is best and most beautiful in the world”? check all that apply. arrests the vanishing apparitions which haunt the interlunations of life sends them forth among mankind, bearing sweet news to those with whom their sisters abide no portal of expression from the caverns of the spirit redeems from decay the visitations of the divinity in man
