diverse yet single,

let no man be so proud
and confident,
to think he is allowed
a little tent
pitched in a meadow
of sun and shadow
all his little own.
joy may be shy, unique,

part b
which detail from the poem best develops the theme identified in part a?

• “joy may be shy, unique, / friendly to a few”
• “to think he is allowed / a little tent / pitched in a meadow”
• “your grief and mine / must intertwine / like sea and river”
• “let no man be so proud / and confident”

Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we analyze the theme (likely about shared human experiences or interconnectedness, as inferred from the poem's focus on grief, joy, and humility). The line "Your grief and mine / Must intertwine / Like sea and river" shows the interconnectedness of human grief, which aligns with a theme of shared experiences. Other options: "Joy may be shy..." focuses on joy's nature, "A little tent..." on individual pride, and "Let no man be so proud..." is a warning, not developing the theme of shared experiences.

Answer:

"Your grief and mine / Must intertwine / Like sea and river" (the third option in Part B)
