In terms of the linguistic aspects and text comprehension,
which alternative corresponds to the text?

Question

The poem 'Whatif' by Shel Silverstein was first published in
his poetry collection entitled “A Light in the Attic”. Read it to
answer question. In terms of the linguistic aspects and text comprehension,
which alternative corresponds to the text? Alternativa A: The word “whatif” is presented to the reader as a
noun which expresses uncertainty. Therefore, the
noun “doubt” can be used as a synonym to replace
the original word in every occurrence in the text
without changing the expected meaning. Ou Alternativa B: The rhyming couplet was the scheme chosen by the
author to interrupt a dynamic movement in the poem.
The rhyming couplets are sustained throughout the
poem as we can see in the rhyming pairs: here – ear;
cry – die; dance – then.  Ou Alternativa C: The concerns presented in the poem suggest the
literary persona posing the questions is under age.
This interpretation can be sustained based on the fact
that the problems presented are mostly related to
formal education, growth and family life.  Ou Alternativa D: The narrator, towards the end of the poem, shows
confidence that the problems which had been
anticipated did not come true. The last two verses in
the poem assert the following nights will not carry the
same concerns and point to a quiet sleep.
