What key idea do the details in the third stanza of Poem 1 suggest?

A

Life is predictable and boring.

Read the selections, and choose the best answer to each

question.

B. Life is a struggle to avoid sadness.

C. Some joy can always be had in life.

D. Both sorrow and joy are part of life.

Be still, sad heart! and cease repining:-

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

Thy fate is the common fate of all,

Into each life some rain must fall,

Some days must be dark and dreary.
