Question

1. use \simply me\ to answer the following question.

what do the speaker’s comments in lines 15 through 19 of the poem \simply me\ suggest?

the speaker thinks that she has been treated unfairly by others.

the speaker hopes that others will notice the changes she has made.

the speaker feels that her past mistakes were not errors after all.

the speaker believes that she should accept herself as she is.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the poem "Simply Me" (focusing on lines 15 - 19). The theme of self - acceptance is common in such poems. The first option about unfair treatment is not suggested as the lines likely don't focus on others' unfairness. The second option about hoping others notice changes is incorrect as the poem's tone (from the title "Simply Me") is more about self - acceptance than seeking others' notice. The third option about past mistakes not being errors is not a typical theme here. The fourth option, about accepting oneself as is, aligns with the title and the likely content of lines 15 - 19 which would reflect self - acceptance.

Answer:

D. The speaker believes that she should accept herself as she is.
