Question 18 • HVA 26-27 IM English ELA 11 A

Read the quotation from "A Hymn to the Evening".“So may our breasts with ev'ry virtue glow,The living temples of our God below!”How does the couplet form support the meaning of the lines?

Answer
A
by working together to form an important idea
B
by emphasizing a conversation between the speaker and God
C
by describing how God’s actions created temples of worship
D
by expressing the speaker’s sarcasm

Explanation

The two lines form a couplet: their paired structure brings the ideas together. The first line says people should glow with virtue, and the second extends that idea by comparing their hearts (“breasts”) to living temples of God. Together, the lines express one important idea: people can honor God through virtuous lives.
