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.
