In "Anthem for Doomed Youth," by Wilfred Owen, the antecedent for "these" ( in line 1) is: doomed,   guns,   orisons,   shires,  or,  brows I had asked this question earlier. I agree with the analyst's assertion that "these" as used the context of the poem obviously refers to the dying soldiers. Other being outrightly lazy, there is no rational explanation why a responsible professor would use multiple choice to assess student poetry appreciation. Multiple choice robs a student the opportunity to express his/her intellectual position.  It is frustrating and beats the very objective of poetry—the freedom to think widely and wildly, and ultimately hold a well-reasoned position on the message in a poem. Given that this is an electronically-graded multiple choice test, we HAVE to select ONE "correct" answer.  Please hit the nail on the head: which of the choices does "these" closest refer to?
