Part A

Read the line from the first stanza of “O Captain! My Captain!”

The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,

What does the prize represent?

shelter
the Union’s victory
the Captain’s leadership
survival


Part B
How does the figurative language in Part A affect the first stanza of the poem?

It supports a tone of celebration.
It shows the speaker’s relief.
It creates a tone of superiority.
It demonstrates the speaker’s surprise.
