read the following passage from \sonnet 18\ by william shakespeare and answer the questions.
*shall i compare thee to a summers day?
thou art more lovely and more temperate.
rough winds do shake the darling buds of may,
and summers lease hath all too short a date:
sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
and often is his gold complexion dimmd;
and every fair from fair sometime declines,
by chance or natures changing course untrimmd;
but thy eternal summer shall not fade
nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
nor shall death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
when in eternal lines to time thou growest:
so long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
so long lives this, and this gives life to thee.*

what term describes words or objects that represent meanings beyond their literal sense?
a. symbol

Explanation:

• For the first question: The structure of a poem refers to how the words, lines, and stanzas are arranged on the page. Tone is the attitude of the poet, mood is the atmosphere, and theme is the central idea.
• For the second question: Shakespearean sonnets follow the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.
• For the third question: In "Harlem", the questioning tone invites readers to ponder the consequences of unfulfilled dreams as the poem asks what happens to a deferred dream.
• For the fourth question: Symbols are words or objects that represent meanings beyond their literal sense. A metaphor is a direct comparison, a simile is a comparison using "like" or "as", and an allegory is a story with a hidden meaning (usually more complex than a single symbol).

Answer:

• First question: B. structure
• Second question: (Assuming the correct option among the given ones is not fully clear from the provided text, but based on knowledge Shakespearean sonnet rhyme scheme is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. If in the options the correct one is presented as such, pick that. Since the options here are a bit unclear in formatting, but if we assume from standard knowledge)
• Third question: C. The consequences of unfulfilled dreams
• Fourth question: (Assuming the options: if one of them is "symbol", that's the answer. Since the user might have formatting issues in presenting options clearly. But based on definition, the term is symbol)
