Answers & Comments
Answer:
4. False
5. True
6. False
Explanation:
4. The poem does not spread the fear of COVID 19 to people instead its encouraging us to fight COVID 19 together and pure teamwork without racism and nobility. Because the poem was saying that we can’t beat it unless all of humanity helps each other.
5. According to the poem COVID 19 said "I have no boundaries or lanes" it means it can infinitely kill and destroy which is worse than wars and prejudice it doesn't connect to reality and it was exagerrating.
6. In the poem COVID 19 says “My presence brings fear and anarchy” If I would convey it into more understanding meaning means that COVID 19 is the bad guy here COVID 19 was the suspect/killer not a victim.
