Question 11 • English IV
Read the excerpt from "On Imagination” by Phillis Wheatley. Thy various works, imperial queen, we see, How bright their forms! how deck’d with pomp by thee! Thy wond’rous acts in beauteous order stand, And all attest how potent is thine hand. Which line from the excerpt shows a different justification than the others?
Answer
A
“Thy various works, imperial queen, we see,”
B
“How bright their forms! how deck’d with pomp by thee!”
C
“Thy wond’rous acts in beauteous order stand,”
D
“And all attest how potent is thine hand.”
Explanation
The first three lines describe Imagination’s works: they are numerous, beautiful, and arranged in wondrous order. The final line shifts from describing those works to using them as evidence of Imagination’s power: “all attest how potent is thine hand.” That different justification is stated in choice D.
