The correct answer is A. The image of the setting sun most likely not described in great detail in “Because I Could Not Stop for Death because it is a common symbol of death that requires little description.  

EXPLANATION:  

Because I Could Not Stop for Death is Emily Dickinson’s literary work. It is one of Dickinson’s poems discussing ‘death’ as the theme. Dickinson creates the character I in this poem who sees ‘death’ like kind and not scary. This poem is full of the personification of death. The speaker describes ‘death’ as, <em>“He kindly stopped for me,” “We slowly drove – He knew no haste, And I had put away.”  </em>

Death in this poem is like a person who is kind. Death stops for the speaker because the speaker could not stop for death. Death and the speaker held the carriage by themselves to eternity and immortality. The speaker seems not afraid of facing death. It seems like the speaker is ready enough to go to the immortality and eternity with death, or maybe it is because the speaker himself had died (stated in the last line of the poem).

With that in mind, because this poem is about death that is personified, the image of ‘the setting sun’ is not described in great detail because the image of it has carried the meaning of death. The image of setting sun has been broadly used in other literary works as the image of death or the end of life.

<span>The image of the setting sun was not described in detail in the poem “Because I could not stop for death” because it is a common symbol of death that requires little description. Literally, the setting of the sun means to approach darkness of the night, which depicts death in real life.</span>

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.
