Question

in both poems, the speakers consider themselves insignificant.
in both poems, the speakers express a great deal of pride.
in both poems, the speakers express humility before a larger and greater force.
in both poems, the speakers express great doubt as to their abilities.

Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we analyze each choice:

• The first option says speakers consider themselves insignificant, but "humility before a larger force" is more specific than just feeling insignificant.
• The second option about pride is opposite to humility/insignificance, so it's incorrect.
• The third option, expressing humility before a larger/greater force, aligns with the idea of recognizing a greater power (which can lead to feeling one's own insignificance in a more contextual way) and is a common theme in many poems (e.g., nature poems where speakers are humbled by nature's power).
• The fourth option about doubt in abilities is different from humility towards a larger force.

Answer:

C. In both poems, the speakers express humility before a larger and greater force. (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the third option as C; adjust label if needed based on actual numbering)
