Read the excerpt from Amy Lowell’s "Lilacs." What is the form of the poem?

Lilacs,
False blue,
White,
Purple,
Color of lilac,
You have forgotten your Eastern origin,
The veiled women with eyes like panthers,
The swollen, aggressive turbans of jeweled Pashas.
Now you are a very decent flower,
A reticent flower,
A curiously clear-cut, candid flower,
Standing beside clean doorways,
Friendly to a house-cat and a pair of spectacles,
Making poetry out of a bit of moonlight
And a hundred or two sharp blossoms.
Maine knows you,
Has for years and years;
New Hampshire knows you,
And Massachusetts
And Vermont.

Question 1 Which inference can be drawn about Bilbo's character based on Chapters 9 and 10 of The Hobbit? He dislikes the dwarves. He wishes he could return home. He is still confused about the mission. He is blessed with good timing and luck. Question 2 Part B Which excerpts best support the answer in Part A? Select the two correct answers. "'What I say,' said Bilbo gasping. 'And please don’t cook me, kind sirs! I am a good cook myself, and cook better than I cook, if you see what I mean. I’ll cook beautifully for you, a perfectly beautiful breakfast for you, if only you won’t have me for supper.' 'Poor little blighter,' said William. He had already had as much supper as he could hold; also he had had lots of beer. 'Poor little blighter! Let him go!' 'Not till he says what he means by lots and none at all,' said Bert. 'I don’t want to have me throat cut in me sleep! Hold his toes in the fire, till he talks!' 'I won’t have it,' said William. 'I caught him anyway.'" "The day grew lighter and warmer as they floated along. After a while, the river rounded a steep shoulder of land that came down upon their left … Suddenly the cliff fell away. The shores sank. The trees ended. Then Bilbo saw a sight: The lands opened wide about him, filled with the waters of the river which broke up and wandered in a hundred winding courses." "'No time now!’ said the hobbit. ‘You just follow me! We must all keep together and not risk getting separated. All of us must escape or none, and this is our last chance. If this is found out, goodness knows where the king will put you next with chains on your hands and feet too, I expect. Don’t argue. There’s a good fellow.'" "'Half a moment!' cried Bilbo, who was still thinking uncomfortably about eating. Fortunately he had once heard something rather like this before, and getting his wits back he thought of the answer. 'Wind, wind of course,' he said, and he was so pleased that he made up one on the spot. 'This’ll puzzle the nasty little underground creature,' he thought: An eye in a blue face Saw an eye in a green face. 'That eye is like to this eye' Said the first eye, 'But in low place Not in high place.'"

Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.” He went down in the darkness, and felt his way to the parlour, and then to the mantelpiece. The talisman was in its place, and a horrible fear that the unspoken wish might bring his mutilated son before him ere he could escape from the room seized upon him, and he caught his breath as he found that he had lost the direction of the door. His brow cold with sweat, he felt his way round the table, and groped along the wall until he found himself in the small passage with the unwholesome thing in his hand. Even his wife's face seemed changed as he entered the room. It was white and expectant, and to his fears seemed to have an unnatural look upon it. He was afraid of her.

How has this year 2020 has been

When Geraldine looked to the sky, she was amazed by what she saw. The tail from a comet cut across the sky like a knife through butter. It was the first time she had seen one in real life. Every comet she had seen up until now came from a book.

She almost didn't see it at first. The stars hung in the sky like a million eyes blinking and winking down at Geraldine. Geraldine wasn't even thinking about them or the campfire or the woods. Her mind was someplace else, and she had her mind on a lot of different things. She was thinking about how she was going to pay for college. She was thinking about graduation. She was thinking about everything but the sky. The last time that she was in the woods was when she was a little girl. It seemed so foreign to her. As her mind wandered, that's when the comet appeared. It was almost like it had read her thoughts. It passed over her head, and she traced its path with her finger like she was waving a magic wand.

plzzzzzz help me!!!!!!!
Flowers may seem beautiful to some, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Casual walkers in rural and urban areas in Alberta may enjoy the vibrant purple flowers of the purple loosestrife plant, but the trained eye of an ecologist sees the threat this invasive species poses.
Purple Loosestrife Invasion
Purple loosestrife was not always seen in and around Alberta. In fact, it wasn’t found anywhere in North America before the 1800s.
During the 1800’s, ships transporting goods around the world were sometimes without cargo for a time, particularly when they were heading to collect a new load. Wooden ships don’t balance well when they are empty, so when they were without a cargo, they were often filled with ballast instead.
How does this relate to purple loosestrife in Alberta? Well, purple loosestrife is a naturally-occurring plant in Europe and Asia, which means that their seeds may become mixed in with the soils found there. Ships sailing from Europe and Asia to North America without cargo often used soil as ballast to maintain the balance of the ships, and then dumped the soil when they arrived to pick up their cargo. It is believed that this dumped soil introduced the purple loosestrife species to Canada.
It may also be the case that early settlers brought purple loosestrife with them when they settled Canada’s west.


Purple Loosestrife: A Not-So-Welcome Introduction
So what’s the big deal about having purple loosestrife in Alberta? Well, purple loosestrife is not a species of plant that occurs naturally in the province- it is an introduced species. Organisms that don’t occur naturally in an area but are instead brought from elsewhere are categorized as introduced species.
Again, what’s the big deal about that? Well, organisms that are introduced to an ecosystem may become invasive - think: invader! An invasive species is defined as any organism that reproduces so quickly or grows so aggressively that it becomes a problem for the other organisms around it. Invasive plant species tend to outcompete local plants for resources such as sunlight, water and root space. In this way, invasive species can harm ecosystems by taking over, disrupting food webs and decreasing biodiversity.
Purple loosestrife has invaded local wetlands and is often found growing unchecked in other wet areas of the city. It flowers prolifically, producing millions of seeds each year. These seeds have many vectors of dispersal, for example, they may be blown to new places by the wind (aerochory), travel along with moving water (hydrochory), hitchhike in animals’ fur or be deposited in animal waste (zoochory), and even planted intentionally by humans.
Purple Loosestrife: Super-plant!
Purple loosestrife grows in clumps with a dense root system that extends underground like a living mat - it’s like a super villain, soaking up nutrients and taking over the space where other plants might grow. In wetlands, waterflow can be disrupted as waterways become clogged.
Over time, purple loosestrife becomes the dominant plant in an area and other plants disappear. This disrupts the food web because animals that only feed on the plants that disappear, disappear too. Once a plant disappears and the animals that feed on that plant disappear, there is a ripple effect along the food chain. Animals that can adapt to their food source disappearing by switching to a different food source will survive, but those that don’t adapt either move to a different habitat or die.

Waging War on Purple Loosestrife
In Alberta, purple loosestrife is classified as prohibited noxious, which means that it is not allowed to be planted and any plants that are found must be destroyed. In many Alberta cities, crews are sent out to dig out and destroy clumps of loosestrife that are reported.
Another way that purple loosestrife has been kept in check across Canada is through the use of biological controls (when one living organism is used to control another). Beetles such as the black-margined loosestrife beetle feed on purple loosestrife, so they are the plant’s natural enemies - perfect for biological control. Releasing the black-margined loosestrife beetle can reduce the purple loosestrife population in an area significantly. When an invasive species is controlled, often the original plants can re-populate and the ecosystem can return to a balanced state.
