She uses words with unappealing sounds and connotations
She employs rhyme and rhythm to emphasize her message
She makes a direct statement about her hatred of April
She creates images that illustrate the beauty of spring​

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) She uses words with unappealing sounds and connotations.

Millay creates a negative and empty mood for the reader because she uses words with unappealing sounds and connotations.

We are referring to the poem "Spring," written by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

Edna creates a negative and empty mood for the reader when she uses words such as "idiot." "maggots," and "babbling," that are unappealing sound and connotations.

The excerpt of the poem with these words is "Not only underground are the brains of men. Eaten by maggots. Life in itself. Is nothing, An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs. It is not enough that yearly, down this hill. April. COmes like an idiot, babbling for flowers."
