2)

Which two choices from the poem most strongly suggest the tone

of this poem?

A)

O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe!

B)

Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,

then even the monsters we defy

Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!

While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,

Making their mock at our accursed lot.

E)

Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,

Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
