In "The Cremation of Sam McGee," the first stanza repeats at the end of the poem. How does this repetition influence the poem's meaning?

The first stanza describes what the speaker thinks Lake Lebarge will be like; the last stanza shows how Lake Lebarge really appears.

The first stanza introduces what the speaker does to Sam McGee; by the last stanza, the reader better understands the "strange things" that have happened.

The first stanza describes how the speaker cremates Sam McGee; the last stanza shows that the speaker never actually cremates Sam McGee.

The first stanza introduces the people who look for gold in the Arctic; by the last stanza, the reader knows that no one really looked for gold.

The first stanza describes how the speaker cremates Sam McGee; the last stanza shows that the speaker never actually cremates Sam McGee.

I took the test and this is the answer.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
