read the excerpt from
hapsody on a windy night.\the lamp hummed:
egard the moon, la lune ne garde aucune rancune, she winks a feeble eye. she smiles into corners. she smoothes the hair of the grass. the moon has lost her memory.the french line \la lune ne garde aucune rancune\ translates to \the moon never holds a grudge.\ which best describes the meaning of this line?the narrator has met people he wants to forget.each night is new; previous events do not matter.the narrator has met people he wants to remember.each night is the same, repeating events.

Explanation:

The phrase "never holds a grudge" implies a lack of lingering resentment or attachment to past events. In the context of the moon (a symbol often associated with the night), it suggests that each night is a fresh start. The moon's actions like "winks a feeble eye," "smiles into corners," and "smoothes the hair of the grass" are new each night, not influenced by past occurrences. Option A and C focus on the narrator's relationship with people which is not directly related to the moon's "lack of grudge" meaning. Option D ("each night is the same") contradicts the idea of a new start (no grudge/attachment to past). So, the line implies each night is new; previous events do not matter.

Answer:

B. Each night is new; previous events do not matter.
