Answer: The right answers are A) “let us sport us while we may” and C) "at once our time devour.”  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the term <em>carpe diem</em> is originally a Latin expression that can be literally translated as "seize the day," and that has come to be interpreted as an appeal to take advantage of the present, due to the fleeing nature of time. "Let us sport us" can be translated as let us amuse ourselves and have fun, whereas "at one our time devour" is an exaggeration that emphasizes the desire of the speaker to seize the day to the fullest.

Kamila [148]

Hello. You did not inform the poem to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The use of similes and metaphors in a poem is done with the objective of extending the meaning of the message that the poet wants to pass through the poem, therefore, the poet writes comparisons that present new and deeper and more imposing meanings.

In a group discussion, which sentence is most clearly challenging the credibility of a source?
Svetlanka [38]

The correct answer is C. Although Peterson's comments may have been valid at one time, his book is over 30 years old.


This sentence is challenging the credibility of Peterson's book because it is old. At one point, his arguments may have been correct, but this has certainly changed over time given that over 30 years have passed since he published his book. Now, there are newer opinions about the topic, so he isn't a credible source anymore.
