My mother doesn't understand. Not that I expected she would. When I told her the news, all she said was "Ah, the face that
launched a thousand ships." She didn't even look up from her book. Later, at dinner, she apologized for quoting Marlowe. Marlowe
is our cat
At bedtime I told my mother, "You should have seen the way Helen acted at school. It was disgusting, flirting with the boys."
Mom tucked the sheets up close around my chin, so that only my head was showing, my body covered mummy style. "Vita,"
she said, "it sounds like she's perfect for the part."
Read the excerpt above. Why does Vita's mother say that Helen is perfect for the role of Helen of Troy?
a. Because she didn't want Vita to do the play
b. Helen's flirtatiousness and attention to boys was just like Helen of Troy
C. Because her mom thinks Helen is more beautiful than Vita
d. Because Marlow said so

This excerpt is from āthe poetā by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.
