Question

read the excerpt from \an irish airman foresees his death\
i know that i shall meet my fate
somewhere among the clouds above;
those that i fight i do not hate
those that i guard i do not love;
what grammatical structure is repeated in this excerpt?
check all that apply.
□ the use of \somewhere,\ followed by an adverb
□ the use of an adverb to begin the lines
□ the use of \those that i,\ followed by a verb
□ the use of a pronoun to end the lines
□ the use of \i do not,\ followed by a verb

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• "the use of 'somewhere,' followed by an adverb": The line with "somewhere" has "among" (a preposition), not an adverb, so this is incorrect.
• "the use of an adverb to begin the lines": The lines start with "I", "Somewhere", "Those", "Those" – no adverb at the start of most lines, so incorrect.
• "the use of 'Those that I,' followed by a verb": The lines "Those that I fight..." and "Those that I guard..." have "Those that I" followed by a verb ("fight", "guard"), so this is correct.
• "the use of a pronoun to end the lines": The lines end with "fate", "above", "hate", "love" – no pronouns, so incorrect.
• "the use of 'I do not,' followed by a verb": The lines "I do not hate" and "I do not love" have "I do not" followed by a verb ("hate", "love"), so this is correct.

Answer:

• the use of "Those that I," followed by a verb
• the use of "I do not," followed by a verb
