Question 16 • English Language Arts 10

Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 19.” Which is the best paraphrase of the line 9?

Answer
A
Do not make my love look older.
B
Time cannot alter my love.
C
My love has beautiful brows.
D
Keep time from passing.

Explanation

Line 9 asks Time not to “carve” the speaker’s love’s fair brow with its passing hours. In other words, the speaker is asking Time not to mark the beloved’s face with signs of aging. That matches “Do not make my love look older.”
