Question 10 • ELA 10B - 2023
Read a sentence from Suki's essay.The lines of Dickinson's poem suggest that one must experience an intense lack or desire for success to fully appreciate it.Which statement provides the best supporting evidence for her sentence?
Answer
A
Dickinson uses the phrase "sorest need" to emphasize this idea, referring to desperation.
B
Dickinson keeps the images of a hard-fought battle vague, highlighting a soldier's failure.
C
Dickinson uses the word "victory" to emphasize this idea, referring to success.
D
Dickinson keeps the poem short, highlighting the idea that success is fleeting.
Explanation
The phrase “sorest need” means a desperate or intense longing. That wording supports Suki’s idea that someone must experience a strong lack or desire for success to appreciate it fully. The word “victory” names success, but by itself it does not show the intense desire needed to value it.
