True or False: The poet wants us to keep quiet for twelve seconds.
Answer as written by the student:
The above statement is False
Step-by-Step explanation of the answer:
To answer this question, we need to state whether the statement is true or false based on evidence from the text or from our own logic and reasoning.
In this case, the statement is false because it contradicts the facts or information given in the text. The text says: “Now I’ll count up to twelve and you keep quiet and I will go.” This tells us that the poet wants us to keep quiet for as long as he counts up to twelve, which could be more than twelve seconds depending on how fast or slow he counts.
Therefore, the statement is false.
