1 Why is the altar broken? God wants it that way It was made poorly The speaker destroyed it A workman used tools on it 2 The “sacrifice” mentioned at the end of the poem could represent: Christ’s crucifixion The speaker’s heart The poem itself All of the above 3 To “hold [your] peace” means: To start an armed conflict To break into pieces To declare a cease-fire To fall silent 4 Which poetic meter is NOT used in the poem: Iambic pentameter Iambic tetrameter Iambic dimeter Iambic trimeter 5 Why should a “workman’s tool” not touch the altar? God requires no more sacrifices after Christ Iron tools would pollute the altar Workmen make poor altars Stones cannot praise God
