Does the poem "War Is Kind" have a couplet or a quatrain. Does this poem have either? If so, identify which kind.

Here's the poem

Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind.
Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky
And the affrighted steed ran on alone,
Do not weep.
War is kind.

Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment,
Little souls who thirst for fight,
These men were born to drill and die.
The unexplained glory flies above them,
Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom—
A field where a thousand corpses lie.

Do not weep, babe, for war is kind.
Because your father tumbled in the yellow trenches,
Raged at his breast, gulped and died,
Do not weep.
War is kind.

Swift, blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.

Mother whose heart hung humble as a button
On the bright splendid shroud of your son,
Do not weep.
War is kind.

Read the excerpt from H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds 2.
But, looking, I presently saw something stirring within the shadow: greyish billowy movements,
one above another, and then two luminous disks-like eyes. Then something resembling a little
grey snake, about the thickness of a walking stick, coiled up out of the writhing middle, and
wriggled in the air towards me-and then another.
How does the author create an aesthetic impact in the excerpt?
O through scientific explanation
O through colorful description
o through realistic dialogue
O through a comforting tone

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

through colorful description.

Something stirring within the shadow

greyish billowy movements

two luminous disks like eyes

something resembling a little grey snake

about the thickness of a walking stick.

How much more graphic do you need it? It's not scientific. and it could be be realistic if the subject wasn't an alien. There is nothing comforting in the tone. If you actually saw this thing, you'd be horrified.

which example best demonstrates irony? Please Help !! Can’t seem to find this question! Thanks!!!

Answers

Answer:

I think it's B

Explanation:

Irony is when the result of a situation is contrary to what you thought it would be. You would have thought that the cleaning product would make something clean, but instead, it makes a mess.

Answer:

I believe it's B.

Explanation:

Irony is a figure of speech in which words convey the opposite of their literal meaning or a situation is contradictory to what one would expect. Since you would expect the cleaning product to clean up the mess, it's ironic that it leaves behind a mess.

Answers

Answer:    YES

Explanation: A good format highlights key areas of your background and entices the hiring manager to keep reading. ... A good format presents all of the important information up front and convinces the hiring manager that your information is worth reading.

The format of the resume is very important. Thus, the correct statement is false.

What is a resume?

A resume is a formal document which a job applicant creates to itemize their qualifications for a position for which they are applying. A resume can usually be accompanied by a customized cover letter in which the applicant generally expresses an interest in a specific job or the company and it also draws the attention to the most relevant specifics on their resume.

A resume communicates the qualifications of a person and their brand who they are and what makes them different from other people to the employers and the recruiters. In a tough job market, they need a resume which helps them stand out in a sea of applicants. Ultimately, the purpose of a strategically targeted, polished resume is to get a person an interview for the job role.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
