Question

reread line 39 of the poem.
hes in us. part and parcel of our royals and our rascals.
how do the poets word choices in this line contribute to the poems overall purpose?
the words royals and rascals emphasize that shakespeare appeals to all levels of society.
the words part and parcel repeat sounds and images to add beauty to the line.
the words royals and rascals suggest that there is a division between the rich and poor.
the words part and parcel suggest that shakespeare distinguishes between good and evil.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the phrase "Royals and rascals": "Royals" refers to wealthy, high-status elites, while "rascals" here implies lower-status, common people, creating a clear division between rich and poor.
2. Eliminate other options: The line focuses on Shakespeare being present across this divide, not his appeal to all levels; "part and parcel" means an integral component, not sound repetition or distinguishing good/evil.

Answer:

C. The words Royals and rascals suggest that there is a division between the rich and poor.
