The poem is : Read the stanza from the poem "The Voice" by William Oandasan.
2
the icy mountain water
that pierces the deep thirst
drums my fire
drums my medicine pouch

Question is:
What is the meaning of the word drums as it is used in the poem?

puts out

works with

gives energy to

moves away from

gives energy to

"drumming my fire" symbolizes getting energy. the icy mountain water is acting as a medecine. it isnt putting out anything, "works with" doesnt really add to the poem, and "moves away from" doesnt make sense. that leaves "gives energy to" as the last, correct, answer.

answer: the correct answer is b. an essay that connects the writer's experience with a topic of significance and of reader interest.

explanation: the key words are here "personal experience" since personal essays give insights about peoples' experiences in life and introduce us in their unique world that can be or not to related to our lives but interests us because we are human beings and share the same condition universally.  

martians or other types of aliens represent a unique fear as opposed to zombies. vampires and other types of monsters.   in most sci-fi stories, aliens come from other worlds and have different or more advanced technology.   abductions and experimentation on human bodies that involve these technologies, or the use of these technologies against human beings and the use of unknown "powers", are a type of fear that's different from that of other types of monsters.
