1 Why is the altar broken? God wants it that way A workman used tools on it The speaker destroyed it It was made poorly 2 The “sacrifice” mentioned at the end of the poem could represent: The poem itself The speaker’s heart Christ’s crucifixion 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 tetrameter Iambic pentameter Iambic dimeter Iambic trimeter 5 Why should a “workman’s tool” not touch the altar? Iron tools would pollute the altar Workmen make poor altars Stones cannot praise God God requires no more sacrifices after Christ
