The following text is from the 1924 poem "Cycle" by D'Arcy McNickle,who was a citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenal Tribes. There shall be new roads wending. A new beating of the drum Men's eyes shall have fresh seeing. Grey lives reprise their span- But under the new sun's being. Completing what night began, There'll be the same backs bending. The same sad feet shall drum- When this night finds its ending And day shall have come Mark for Review Which choice best states the main purpose of the text?

Answer 1

## Step 1The first step in solving this problem is to understand the text. The poem "Cycle" by D'Arcy McNickle is a reflection on the cyclical nature of life, the continuity of human activities, and the connection between individual experiences and the larger community.## Step 2Next, we need to analyze each option in relation to the text. ### Option AOption A suggests that the poem considers the repetitiveness in human life as both rewarding and challenging. This is somewhat reflected in the text, as the poem mentions "the same backs bending" and "the same sad feet shall drum," indicating repetition. However, the poem does not explicitly link this repetition to being rewarding or challenging.### Option BOption B discusses the memorability of activities based on the time of day. This theme is not present in the poem. The text does not make any reference to different times of the day or their impact on the memorability of activities.### Option COption C talks about refuting the idea that joy is a more commonly experienced emotion than sadness. The poem does mention "sad feet" but does not provide a comparative analysis of the prevalence of joy versus sadness.### Option DOption D focuses on how individual experiences relate to community experiences. This is a central theme in the poem. The text mentions "new roads wending," "new beating of the drum," and "under the new sun's being," which suggests change and continuity in the context of a community. The poem also talks about the completion of activities and the continuation of life, which are communal and individual experiences alike.## Step 3Based on the analysis, the option that best captures the main purpose of the text is D, as it aligns most closely with the themes of continuity, change, and the relationship between individual and community experiences as depicted in the poem.
