Read the excerpt from "The Charge of the Light Brigade."

HALF a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

"Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns!" he said:

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.



Which words are used by Tennyson to show the fate of the brigade?

half a league
rode the six hundred
valley of Death
Charge for the guns!

Answer:

valley of Death

Step-by-step explanation:

The fate of the Light Brigade was their riding into the valley of Death. Seeing that the British soldiers were few in number and ill-equipped when compared to the Russian forces they went to fight against in 1854, we can say that they were literally moving into the valley of Death.

This confrontation led to the exposure of 600 of them to the attack of the Russian forces. 195 soldiers still had their horses after the first attack, but they lost 118 men in death. 127 of the men were wounded while 60 soldiers were imprisoned.
