Rhyme, Rhythm, and Visualizing in a Yeats Poem

Question 7 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Remember, a fluent reader thinks about phrasing. To read aloud smoothly, a reader groups words that go together and takes a breath only after saying a complete phrase.If you were reading from “The Song of Wandering Aengus,” which words would you need to say together as a group? Check all that apply.“glimmering girl”“apple blossom” “I went to”“brightening air” “name and ran”

Answer
A
“glimmering girl”
B
“apple blossom”
C
“I went to”
D
“brightening air”
E
“name and ran”

Explanation

Group words together when they form a complete phrase. “Glimmering girl” and “apple blossom” are noun phrases, and “brightening air” is also a connected phrase. “I went to” is unfinished because “to” leads into the next verb, “blow”; “name and ran” joins words that belong to separate parts of the sentence.
