19. Which change is needed in the fourth paragraph?
Answer: A
Change 'immanent' to 'eminent' in sentence 15.
The term 'immanent' is incorrectly used in the context of the fourth paragraph and should be replaced with 'eminent' to accurately describe Frost's status as a distinguished poet.
A) In sentence 15, change 'immanent' to 'eminent'
This change is correct because 'eminent' refers to someone who is prominent or respected in a particular field, which appropriately describes Robert Frost as a renowned poet. 'Immanent', on the other hand, relates to something that is inherent or existing within, which does not fit the intended meaning in this context.
B) In sentence 15, change 'dual' to 'duel'
This change is incorrect because 'dual' appropriately describes Frost's intention of fulfilling two purposes with his poem: honoring the president and inspiring appreciation for the arts. A 'duel' refers to a confrontation between two parties, which does not relate to the context of the poem's purpose.
C) In sentence 16, change 'inspire' to 'aspire'
This change is incorrect as 'inspire' is the appropriate term, indicating Frost’s intention to motivate the audience to appreciate the arts. 'Aspire' means to have a strong desire to achieve something, which does not accurately reflect the intent of his poem.
D) In sentence 17, change 'proceeded' to 'preceded'
This change is incorrect because 'proceeded' indicates that Frost went ahead with his task of writing the poem, while 'preceded' would incorrectly suggest that he did something before another action, which does not align with the sequence of events described in the extract.
Conclusion
The necessary change in the fourth paragraph is to swap 'immanent' for 'eminent', as it correctly highlights Frost's distinguished status as a poet. All other options either misinterpret the context or use incorrect terminology, reinforcing the necessity of precision in literary description.
