Great Power, Great Responsibility

Question

K. Reiter

I would give up anything to be normal
But not my superpower
I would give up all the riches
For just one true friend

5 I would do anything for just a day
In which kids do not snicker
When I walk to class and sit
For just one day of high school

I would try anything if I can
10 Save my city but also
Eat ice cream after basketball
For just one scoop with friends

I would give you anything you want
If you could wipe away
15 The look of a superhero from my face
For just one day of a regular life

Answer 1

To determine how the structure of passage 1 differs from the structure of passage 2, we need to consider the similarities and differences among the options provided.

A. It describes a speaker’s feelings of loneliness through repetition.
This option does not distinguish between two different passages, as it only describes feelings of loneliness.

B. It describes the struggles of someone powerful in each stanza.
This option also does not differentiate between two passages.

C. It uses meter and rhyme to express heavy sentiments of the speaker.
While this option could be valid for one of the passages, it does not clarify how the two are different.

D. It relies on line breaks to draw attention to important words.
This option points to a structural element—line breaks—that may or may not apply consistently between two different passages.

Given only passage 1 (the poem "Great Power, Great Responsibility" by K. Reiter), it utilizes repetition and relies on line breaks effectively throughout the stanzas to draw attention to important sentiments of the speaker.

Since we don't have access to passage 2 to make a full comparison, we can't conclusively say how they differ. However, the most plausible option that addresses structural differences between two passages would be:

D. It relies on line breaks to draw attention to important words.

This reflects a more structural analysis that could vary between two passages, unlike the other choices which either generalize or do not provide comparative analysis. If you have the content of passage 2, it would help ensure a more accurate answer.
