### Пояснение к решению
1. **Exercise 4:** Все качества характера сгруппированы по строфам. В тексте Киплинг использует конструкцию *«If you can...»*, перечисляя условия, формирующие идеальный характер зрелого человека.
2. **Exercise 5:** Фразовые глаголы и устойчивые коллокации соответствуют тексту стихотворения:
* *bear to do sth* — выносить, терпеть;
* *blame sth on sb* — винить кого-то в чем-то;
* *make allowances for* — делать скидку на что-либо, принимать во внимание;
* *give way to* — поддаваться (чувству, эмоции);
* *build up* — строить, развивать;
* *breathe a word about/of* — проговориться, сказать хоть слово;
* *long before / long after* — задолго до / спустя долгое время после;
* *hold on* — держаться, не сдаваться.
3. **Exercise 6–8:** Стихотворение построено на контрастах (антитезах: *Triumph / Disaster*, *Kings / crowds*), что подчеркивает необходимость сохранять баланс в любых крайностях. Размер стихотворения — ямбический пентаметр (iambic pentameter), где чередуются безударный и ударный слоги (ритм *da-DUM da-DUM*).
4. **Exercise 10:** Киплинг мастерски использует прием олицетворения (*personification*), оживляя абстрактные понятия (Успех, Поражение, Волю), чтобы показать правильное к ним отношение.
