Answer:

B. Rode his horse very quickly.

Explanation:

The passage from the question is a description of President Abraham Lincoln's resignation from his commission as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. The passage describes him riding "like the wind" which is a metaphor for his manner of travelling, the urgency and rushed manner of his trip back to Mount Vernon.

Metaphors are used to make a comparison with something which is not possible to be done in reality. The phrase "<em>rode like the wind</em>" suggests that he rushed in a very quick and urgent manner which implies that he had gone in a hurry, riding his horse as fast as he can.

Why does edgar allan poe repeat the line "of the bells, bells, bells" in the poem "the bells"
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Written at the end of Poe's life, this incantatory poem examines bell sounds as symbols of four milestones of human experience—childhood, youth, maturity, and death. “The Bells” is composed of four stanzas of increasing length and is a showcase of onomatopoeia, alliteration, repetition, and assonance. He also uses these bells as a use of alliteration in the poem.
