read the question carefully and select the best answer.
which of these inferences is supported by the poem?
a. the speaker’s mother divorced her husband when he joined the revolutionary forces
b. the ethical and emotional circumstances of war divide families and friends.
c. the speaker doesn’t think the war will ever end in syria.
d. the speaker is tempted to give up her religion after what she has witnessed

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on typical poem - inference logic:

Option A

There's no indication in a general poem context (without specific poem details) that a speaker's mother divorced her husband when he joined revolutionary forces. This is a very specific and unsubstantiated claim.

Option B

War - related poems often touch on the seemingly endless nature of war, especially in regions like Syria. The idea that the speaker doesn't think the war in Syria will ever end is a plausible inference as war - themed works frequently convey the hopelessness or the long - drawn - out nature of conflicts.

Option C

There's no typical or implied connection in a general poem to a speaker not thinking the Syrian war will end. This is a very specific and ungrounded statement without more context.

Option D

There's no general indication in a poem (without specific religious or war - witnessing context) that the speaker is tempted to give up her religion after witnessing events. This is a very specific and unsubstantiated claim.

Answer:

B. The ethical and emotional circumstances of war divide families and friends.
