Answer 1

To answer your question based on the poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, I would require the specific phrases you're asking to drag and drop. However, based on the general themes of the poem, I can help explain the purpose behind the comparison of each "mast and spar."

The author's purpose in comparing each “mast and spar” to a “human figure" (if that is one of your responses) is to convey the sense of readiness and action among the ships, much like the colonists prepared for the coming conflict. This visual helps set the stage, evoking a sense of urgency and vigilance that reflects the larger historical context of the American Revolution.

If you can provide the specific phrases you want to use, I can help you organize them accordingly!
