Motif is basically elements in the poem with symbolic meanings. So, in these poems you have listed, each of them have a motif of death through symbolization. For instance, in the poem "Ah, Are You Digging My Grave" he uses symbolism to express that he is dead and buried as you can see from the title itself and the first verse, "Ah, are you digging on my grave, <span>My loved one? -- planting rue?"

For "My Last Duchess" shows a great point of symbolism when the jealous Duke has a portrait of the Duchess he killed behind his curtains to ensure his dominance over her even when she is already dead.

In the last poem, "The Lady of Shalott" the character herself is a symbol. In the verses, "</span>The reaper, reaping late and early, Hears her ever chanting cheerly, Like an angel, singing clearly" it uses metaphors that symbolize death with the word, "reaper and reaping". 

Hope I was able to help you. :)

Answer:

The answer is True

Explanation:

First and foremost, the Parable of the Talents teaches us that we are put on Earth to work. This is evident not only in this particular parable, but in several other Bible stories. God rewards those who put considerable effort into bettering their lives and the lives of those in their community.

The "Parable of the Talents", in Matthew 25:14–30 tells of a master who was leaving his house to travel, and, before leaving, entrusted his property to his servants. ... The property entrusted to the three servants was worth 8 talents, where a talent was a significant amount of money.

Which phrase from the paragraph helps the
MaRussiya [10]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Your question isn't complete and I searched online but couldn't find the text where you got the question from.

Resist means to oppose, or strive against something or someone. It means to abstain from something or someone even though it may be difficult.

Resist means fighting against something or someone. For example, in the sentence, "The drug that James took will help his body resist infection". This sentence simply means that the drug that James took will help him to fight against infection.
