What is the text structure of the following paragraph? Also called the Thistle Butterfly, [the Painted Lady] is one of the most widespread types of butterfly and can be found almost everywhere in North America. The wings are covered with orange and brown blotches, and the top of the forewings are tipped in black with white spots. The Painted Lady will hibernate in areas with mild winter conditions, while others will migrate south. The average wingspan is 2¼”. Because of its friendly character, flexible living conditions, and versatility, this is one of the most common butterfly used for releases. The larva is one of the few types which can be fed by artificial food, which makes it easy to observe the life cycle from your home or school! (http://www. simplybutterflies. com)

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.
