Read the poem "Bacchus's Regret" by Hunter Doyle and answer the question. [1] King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me, so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be. Midas cried, "Give my fingers a golden touch! Then, I shall have a gilded kingdom and such." [5] I tried to make him see the err of his choice, but he would not heed the caution in my voice. I pleaded with Midas, "Be careful what you choose, for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose." [9] His thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite; after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite. His daughter wept for her poor starving dad, so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad. [13] Into a golden statue Midas's daughter became, and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame. Yet, maybe if I had put up more of a fight and a fret, then I wouldn't have to live with all this regret. Select the line that best supports the theme people must live with the consequence of their choices. "King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me, / so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be." (Lines 1–2) "I tried to make him see the err of his choice, / but he would not heed the caution in my voice." (Lines 4–5) "His daughter wept for her poor starving dad, / so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad. (Lines 11–12) "Into a golden statue Midas's daughter became, / and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame." (Lines 13–14)

Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "that spot" by jack london? i don’t think much of stephen mackaye any more, though i used to swear by him. i know that in those days i loved him more than my own brother. if ever i meet stephen mackaye again, i shall not be responsible for my actions. it passes beyond me that a man with whom i shared food and blanket, and with whom i mushed over the chilcoot trail, should turn out the way he did. i always sized steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. i shall never trust my judgment in men again. why, i nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the stewart; and he saved my life on the little salmon. and now, after the years we were together, all i can say of stephen mackaye is that he is the meanest man i ever knew. a. excited b. ironic c. indignant d. playful
