There are many ways you could paraphrase this, but one option would be "Experts think the recession will soon pass", since "Financial" and "optimistic" are implied.
I would say the correct answer is B. hyperbole.
Hyperbole is a figure of speech that authors use when they want to exaggerate things. So this 'vegetable love' cannot possibly grow larger than empires - the poem just wants to demonstrate the power and intensity of this love by using the figure of hyperbole. A paradox would include two completely opposite things, and <em>vast </em>and <em>slow </em>are not opposites.
C. skunks
I think thats the answer because its talking about the skunks in general.
The if is fun as the superego is to GUILTY
