Answer: Elderly people should live life fully despite the difficulties of old age.
Explanation:
The most common theme in this poem by William Carlos Williams is referring to aspects of old age. This poem is wrote with poetic and simple language while he was using many literary devices and caring about form and structure.
- The poet has represented old age and elder people trough symbolism of birds, trees, wind and more. His theme is focusing on that, that all people should live life fully and the difficulties in life should be always smaller than actual will for living. We can see the theme of the poem in the tittle too - ''To Waken an Old Lady''
Answer B and D are totally incorrect because they are translated and understood in a literary way although the poet is using many literary devices and symbolism.
Answer C is considering acceptance of poem's symbolism but it is not considering the main focus and theme of it which are the elder ones.
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
His real name is James Gatz and he came from a no-name family in North Dakota. This is something he is quite ashamed of and so he creates a new identity for himself. Although he does gain wealth, he will never be like Tom and Daisy who were raised in that world. This is demonstrated through the extravagant car he drives and his attempt at imitating the lavish life he desires. It's absolute phony and characters see through this charade. He also tries so hard to relive the past that he abandons his current self. Gatsby truly lives in a fantasy world and thus, cannot be true to his identity.

It is a simile.

Ok, it's not a metaphor because there's no actual comparison here.
That being said, what do you mean by quote or phrase? Are these the three options you have to choose from?
If so...this is probably a phrase. A quote is well...it's a sentence or sentences that someone else has said. A phrase is just an expression.
Final answer: Phrase
I hope that helps.
