Answer:

a. the wish that he will meet God when he dies (it is, indeed, the correct choice)

Explanation:

A <em>bourne</em> is a literary word for a limit or boundary.

A <em>pilot</em> is an archaic word for a guide or a leader. The first letter is capitalized, which means it is not an ordinary guide or leader, but <em>the Guide </em>or <em>the Leader</em>. It is a pretty obvious reference to God, who, as Christians believe, guides us all.

Basically, what he says in these final lines is "although he may be carried beyond the limits of time and space as we know them, he retains the hope that he will look upon the face of his “Pilot”(i.e. God) when he has crossed the sand bar."

If you reread the entire poem, you will see that it is about Lord Tennyson's accepting death as an inevitable and natural part of life. He asks his family not to grieve over him when he dies. Nothing is said about love in the poem.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

1. Physical Issue with high use of digital technology - <em>Text Neck Syndrome</em>

Text Neck Syndrome or Anterior Neck Syndrome refers to strain in the neck and shoulders that is caused by flexing the neck forwards and downwards while using a smartphone. Increased usage of smartphones has increased the risk of text neck syndrome.

Solution: To reduce the risk of Text Neck Syndrome:

a) smartphone usage should be minimized

b) Hold your phone at eye level while using it

c) Perform gentle neck stretches.

2. Psychological Issue with high use of digital technology- <em>Low self-esteem</em>

Individuals of all ages, and especially adolescents, might experience low self-esteem, feelings of inadequacy and poor body-image due to high use of digital technology. This is because digital technology over-represents models or celebrities who are  underweight. Additionally, platforms like [email protected] and [email protected] predominately display the glamorous side of life (parties, vacations, etc.) that are not an accurate reflection of reality.

Solution: The best solution for the aforementioned scenario would be to follow content that is positive, encouraging and motivational, such as well-being podcasts, [email protected] groups, [email protected] accounts, etc. Additionally, limiting usage of digital technology would also be helpful.
