29.

The correct answer is (A).

This question asks you what effect

these lines have on you, what comes to mind as you read the

lines. Choices (C), (D), and (E) are distracters that have little or

nothing to do with the poem. The lines do not establish the

rhyme scheme, choice (C), which probably would not create an

effect on the reader even if they did. Choices (D) and (E) are

simply incorrect. Choice (B) is a much too literal interpretation

of the poem. These phrases—“tempest of dispraise” and “waves

of swift dissension”—support the theme of the poem, troubled

times require a great leader.
