Read this poem: how like a winter hath my absence been from thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! what freezings have i felt, what dark days seen! what old december's bareness every where! and yet this time removed was summer's time; the teeming autumn, big with rich increase, bearing the wanton burden of the prime, like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: yet this abundant issue seem'd to me but hope of orphans and unfather'd fruit; for summer and his pleasures wait on thee, and, thou away, the very birds are mute; or, if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheer that leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near. where does the tone shift in the poem? a. the tone shifts in the last two lines. b. the tone shifts in the second stanza. c. the tone shifts in the last line. d. the tone shifts in the third stanza.

The best answer to the question: Where does the poem shift in the poem, would be, A: The tone shifts in the last two lines.

Explanation:

This excerpt comes from William Shakespeare´s Sonnet 97, and which was published around 1609. When analyzing the stanzas, you realize that in the first quatrain of the poem, the speaker is merely talking about having been forced to go through a process of separation from someone that is loved, and therefore, the tone is saddening, almost like how winter´s effects look. Then, he goes on to say that maybe it is not so saddening, like trying to look on the brighter side of things, by comparing the feelings more to autumn, or late summer.

But in the final part of the poem, the speaker goes to deny his optimism about this separation, making the poem seem really sad, even more so than at the start. Now, it is almost tangible, in the last two lines, the sadness felt for the separation. So much so, that even if there were a single joyful thing, like the song of a bird, it would still be with "so dull a cheer/ That leaves look pale, dreading the winter´s near."

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.
