Which excerpt from Silent Spring best appeals to readers' pathos? So it had been from the days many years ago when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells, and built their
bams
The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in
spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color
that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines
The countryside was, in fact, famous for the abundance and variety of its bird life, and when the flood of migrants was
pouring through in spring and fall people traveled from great distances to observe them
Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a
substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed and this imagined tragedy may easily
become a stark reality we all shall know

This excerpt is from “the poet” 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.
