Read the excerpt from "Ring Out, Wild Bells” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
What idea does the meter of the excerpt emphasize?
the positivity of new replacing old
the reach of the sound of the bells
the muffling effect of the snow
the finality of the ending of the year
