Question

how does the use of the words wavering, lucent, and repose in lines 7,9, and 10 affect the tone of the text? they indicate respect for the sea by mimicking the motion of the waves. the words emphasize the waves captivity and the speakers sorrow. they shift the focus to the danger faced by the sea creatures. the words amplify the speakers sense of calm and awe. how does the authors use of imagery affect the tone of the poem? the image of the waves sisters being free creates an envious tone. the image of soft movements within the sea creates a tone of serenity. the image of resting inhabitants of the sea creates a cautious tone. the image of shining rock and light in the water creates a tone of hope.

Explanation:

1. For the first question, "wavering, lucent, and repose" suggest a sense of calmness and a feeling of being in awe. These words do not indicate respect by mimicking waves, emphasize captivity and sorrow, or shift focus to danger. They imply a calm and awed state.
2. For the second question, soft movements within the sea are often associated with serenity. The image of waves' sisters being free doesn't necessarily create envy, resting inhabitants don't imply caution, and shining rock and light don't directly create a tone of hope as strongly as soft - sea movements create serenity.

Answer:

1. The words amplify the speaker's sense of calm and awe.
2. The image of soft movements within the sea creates a tone of serenity.
