Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The evidence ignores the rest of the poem
- Step 1: Interpretation must fit the whole text. Step 2. Quoting only one stanza leaves out evidence that may contradict the claim. Answer: The evidence ignores the rest of the poem. Why not the others: The other points are not weaknesses of the argument.
