I read an analysis of the poem "Afterwards" by Thomas Hardy.

Euphemism is defined as the use of an indirect word or expression as a substitute of the actual word or expression that is either too harsh or blunt when referring to something embarrassing or extremely unpleasant. 

Afterwards is used as a euphemism for death. Each stanza refers to the narrator dying in a certain season or time. 1st stanza deals with dying during the month of May and spring time. 2nd Stanza deals with dying on an autumn season. 3rd stanza deals with dying on a summer night. 4th stanza deals with dying on a winter night. 5th stanza deals with the funeral of the person. 

Death is a very unpleasant topic to talk about and in the poem, it is being discussed in line with nature and its seasons. The poem uses metaphors and personification to make the subject more relatable to the readers and to enable the readers to appreciate the beauty of death without fearing it.

Read the chart.

Answer and Explanation:

The answer that makes the most sense is D) Text Details.

A isn't the answer because this is something we would hear/read about first to know what is happening and to get details of who the character is before diving into the story. This is information about a character.

B isn't the answer because conclusions would be made near the end or middle of the story, where we make inferences and conclusions of what happens when the story ends. This would be Inference.

C isn't the answer because we are being told the traits of a person. This answer and A could possibly be background knowledge, as we get to know the character before the story begins so we aren't lost, we could learn about these during the story as well. This is information about a character.

D is correct because we are given text details about the story/character. We would be given things like how they ended up in the beginning situation, where they are from, why they are here, etc.
