And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
on the pallid bust of pallas just above my chamber door;

in these lines, the repetition of the phrase "still is sitting” create what kind of mood?

patience

boredom
acceptance

Helplessness

The speaker of the poem "The Raven" is grieving over the death of a young woman. Moreover, he is dealing with the raven. The repetition of the phrase "still is sitting" indicates that the speaker believes he will not be able to get rid of the raven. He is helpless. Moreover, this supports the idea that the man will also be unable to get over his grief for the woman.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the correct order is:

you're your own worst enemy:

they're going to say what they say, but

their opinions aren't holding you

back. it's your self-defeatist

attitude that's keeping your work

from getting its due.
