Captivating Critters Unit Test 15 of 2015 of 20 Items Question Use the poem to answer the question. Dawn. by Emily Dickinson When night is almost done, And sunrise grows so near That we can touch the spaces, It 's time to smooth the hair And get the dimples ready, And wonder we could care For that old faded midnight That frightened but an hour. After which line in the poem should the reader pause? (1 point) Responses When night is almost done, When night is almost done, And sunrise grows so near And sunrise grows so near And wonder we could care And wonder we could care For that old faded midnight

Answer 1

In poetry, pausing typically occurs at the end of a line or at a comma or other punctuation marks within a line. Let's examine the lines in question to determine potential pauses:

1. When night is almost done,
2. And sunrise grows so near
3. That we can touch the spaces,
4. It 's time to smooth the hair
5. And get the dimples ready,
6. And wonder we could care
7. For that old faded midnight

It's common to pause at the end of each line to acknowledge the break in thought, so lines 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 would all be natural places for a pause. The phrase "And wonder we could care" continues the thought from the previous lines, so there's less of a natural pause at the end of line 6.

Given the choice between "When night is almost done," "And sunrise grows so near," "And wonder we could care," and "For that old faded midnight," the first two lines (1 and 2) are likely places for a pause, since they both end with a comma, indicating a slight break in the thought process before continuing.

Therefore, readers should pause at:

- "When night is almost done,"
- "And sunrise grows so near"

Answer 2

theres only one question you can aswer

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion. If you are being asked to choose only one line after which the reader should pause, based on traditional poetry reading guidelines, you would typically choose:

"When night is almost done,"

This is the first line of the poem, and it ends with a comma, which is a natural place for a reader to take a pause. This pause allows the reader to take a small breath and prepares them for the next line of imagery.
