Answer 1

The text evidence that best supports the answer to Question 13 about "A Poison Tree" by William Blake is:

C. "And I sunned it with smiles / And with soft deceitful wiles" (Lines 7-8)

• The answer to question 13 is:

- The speaker tends to their wrath like a plant that produces a poisoned fruit, implying that anger can be satisfying but is toxic to let grow.

• Now, we need to find the evidence that best supports that answer. We must focus on the fact that the speaker in "A Poison Tree" is tending to their anger, taking care of it so that it may grow.

• The tree is a metaphor for his anger and the poisoned fruit for the consequences of such a feeling.

• The speaker is sunning and watering his anger, like he would a tree. But he is doing is with "soft deceitful wiles." Wile means ploy or scheme.

• Therefore, the speaker feels satisfaction in being angry, but the consequences are toxic and dangerous. With that in mind, we can select letter C as the best option.
