For question 14, the possible interpretation that the speaker is "afraid of his father" could be a valid interpretation for "My Papa's Waltz." This interpretation suggests that the speaker is fearful of the father's rough behavior during the waltzing. However, it is also possible to interpret that the speaker is "angry with his father's rough behavior." Both interpretations can be supported by the imagery and tone of the poem. Ultimately, the interpretation may vary depending on the reader's analysis of the poem.

To determine the answer to question 11, "Which of the following pairs of words may be used as an example of approximate rhyme?", we need to understand what approximate rhyme means. Approximate rhyme is when words have similar but not identical sounds at the end. So, we need to look at the options and identify pairs that have similar sounds at the end.

The options are:
a. now and later
b. crew and two
c. again and friend
d. applause and gauze

Out of these, option C, "again and friend," can be considered an example of approximate rhyme because although the sounds at the end are not identical, they are similar enough to create a loose rhyme.

For question 13, "The women in Walker's poem struggle on behalf of their", we need to understand the context of the poem and determine who or what the women are struggling for. Without specific knowledge of the poem mentioned, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. However, based on the options provided, option D, "children", seems to be the most common struggle depicted in poetry. In many cases, women in literature often struggle on behalf of their children.

Finally, for question 14, "For 'My Papa's Waltz,' one possible interpretation is that the speaker is", we need to analyze the poem and consider the context and tone to determine the speaker's feelings towards their father. Without the full context of the poem, it can be open to interpretation. However, based on the given options, both option A, "afraid of his father", and option B, "angry with his father's rough behavior", could be valid interpretations. In the poem, the speaker's tone and emotions towards their father can be interpreted differently, leaving room for multiple possible explanations.

These answers are based on general knowledge and assumptions, so it is always recommended to refer to the specific text or poem mentioned for accurate interpretations.
