FR LAST 2 QUESTIONs WILL GIVE BRANLIET PLS HELP I REALLY COULD USE THE HELP 12. Read this passage from the short poem "Hats" by Carl Sandburg.

On the rim of a skyscraper’s forehead
I looked down and saw: hats: fifty thousand hats:
Swarming with a noise of bees and sheep, cattle and waterfalls,
Stopping with a silence of sea grass, a silence of prairie corn.
Hats: tell me your high hopes.

1. D) He first sees them as an unthinking mass but wants to humanize them.

In this poem, Sandburg first sees hats merely as objects, as an unthinking mass, which it's clear when he says “I looked down and saw: hats: fifty thousand hats,” but at the end, he tries to see and treat them as humans when he asks them about their high hopes as if they could answer and as if they could have hopes.

2. B) The abrupt line breaks slow the reader down.

Williams' use of line breaks intends to makes us read the lines in a slow manner, and to forces us to consider a single line and word at a time so that we can fully reflect on the meaning of each word.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.

b. the colonies must seek protection from other nations.
