Pose and make it perfect
Let them see you
As you want to be seen
Stay on top of it. All of it.
If you’re not thinking about this,
You should be.
Share, then forget.
Twitter, fast-paced, informative.
A source of pure entertainment.
A fountain of rally cries.
A necessary evil.
Get the word out, so they can never look away.
But does it do more harm than good?
Use with caution or you might be burned.
Which of the following is the theme of the poem?
Be careful whom you trust.
This answer is correct. The poem has several moments that tell the reader things are not as they seem. There is a negative, distrusting mood in each stanza “Let them see you as you want to be seen” and “Use with caution or you might be burned.” Of the four, this is the best answer.
Everybody lies.
This answer is incorrect. The writer does not see everybody on social media as dishonest. They call it “a fountain of rally cries” and a place to “get the word out”. There is no indication that everybody is a liar.
News is most trustworthy in print.
This answer is incorrect. The poet never mentions print news as better or more trustworthy. This is an opinion the reader could draw, but not the theme of the poem.
Of all social media, Twitter is best.
This answer is too specific to be a theme. The poet mentions social media broadly. Although it mentions twitter by name, there is no indication they believe it is best.
