Read the two original literary excerpts. Passage 1 (from a mock-heroic couplet): "Then rose the spoon, dread scepter of the tea, and conquered crumbs in sugared majesty." Passage 2 (from plain prose): "She lifted the spoon because the child was hungry, and the room had no majesty to spare." Which contextual detail most precisely supports a comparison of the contrast between mock-heroic wit and unadorned ethical statement without doing the interpretive work by itself?
