Question

select the correct text in the passage.
which detail best supports the theme that people should enjoy the good times in life?

excerpt adapted from goodfellowship
by li po

hast thou not beheld the yellow river
which flows from heaven?
it runs rapidly down and empties into the sea,
nevermore to return.

hast thou beheld the mirror in the hall
that reflects the grief of white hair?
in the morning it is like black silk,
in the evening it will be covered with snow.

while we are in the mood of joy,
let us celebrate!
let not our lives be lonely,
let us waste not the moon!

Explanation:

To support the theme of enjoying good times, we analyze each option:

• "Nevermore to return" focuses on the river's irreversibility, related to time passing but not directly about enjoying good times.
• "That reflects the grief of white hair" is about aging and grief, not about enjoying good times.
• "Let us celebrate!" (along with the context of "While we are in the mood of joy") directly encourages celebrating during joyful moments, which supports the theme of enjoying good times.
• "Let not our lives be lonely" is about avoiding loneliness, not specifically about enjoying good times.
• "Let us waste not the moon!" is about not wasting the moon, which can be related to enjoying moments but is more about not wasting time on the moon rather than directly celebrating good times like "Let us celebrate!".

Answer:

Let us celebrate!
