Milton is remarking on the successes and failures of his life, looking at how old he has become because he recently turned twenty three. This caused him to reflect on his life and think about his purpose and God's influence on his life path.

"How soon hath Time the suttle theef of youth,
Stoln on his wing my three and twentieth yeer!"

These opening lines show that he feels time has been 'stolen' from him on the arrival of his 23rd year.

(Answer choices)

a new career

✓

a birthday

a fight

a spring day

Explanation: Take a look at the poem and make your own inferences.

Read the passage.

How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,

Stolen on his wing my three and twentieth year!

My hasting days fly on with full career,

But my late spring no bud or blossom showeth.

Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth,

That I to manhood am arrived so near,

And inward ripeness doth much less appear,

That some more timely-happy spirits endueth.

Which occasion or circumstance leads the speaker to the thoughts in Sonnet VII by John Milton?

Here is the way I worked through it.

We can inspect the answer choice: "new career". In the third line it says my "hasting days fly on with a full career." Despite this it doesn't mention anything about a new career in all the lines so we can rule it out.

After reading through the poem we can infer that there are no 'fighting words' or acts of violence. Therefore it's NOT "a fight".

Next we can inspect the answer choice: "new career". In the third line it says my "hasting days fly on with a full career." Despite this it doesn't mention anything about a 'new' career in all the lines so we can rule it out.

It's also not "a spring day". It does mention "But my late spring no bud or blossom showeth." However after reading the lines over you can tell he is referring to himself. This means he is getting old and he feels its effects.

It's clear that the answer is "a birthday" because it is mentioned right off the bat how time has essentially stolen his youth in his three and twentieth year. This suggests he is 23 years of age now. He is reflecting on his birthday and how his age is robing of his productivity.

P.S. "I would be at your utmost thanks if you gave this answer the brainiest. First of all, it's correct. next it's informative and well thought out. As for anyone else giving it 5 stars and thanks are also very important".

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. she was a small woman, short and straight-waisted like a child in her brown cotton gown. her forehead was mild and benevolent between the smooth curves of gray hair; there were meek downward lines about her nose and mouth; but her eyes, fixed upon the old man, looked as if the meekness had been the result of her own will, never of the will of another. in at least one hundred words, explain how this excerpt uses explicit and implicit details to describe sarah penn.
