×after reading a poem what is the first thing you should do to begin analyzing it apex

C). Paraphrase the poem.

Explanation:

The first step to begin analyzing a poem is 'paraphrasing' that implies the restatement or revelation of meaning of the poem in your own words to understand the major ideas reflected with a better clarity. Paraphrasing assists in rewording the central ideas, claims, or meanings presented in the poem to understand more evidently and comprehensively. The further steps follow the recognition of theme and connotative meaning or inter-textual reading or understanding. Thus, option C 'paraphrasing' is the first step to begin analyzing a poem.

in the thematic approach, an interpreter relies on a central theme (i.e., a major point or message) to guide development of a communication activity or device. in presenting the activity or device, the thematic interpreter develops the theme in such a way that it will be highly relevant to an audience.

explanation:

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.
