Answer:
I'd say "main idea" is your answer.
Explanation:
You're supposed to state the subject in a few words or in a phrase, and "The general topic, content, and ideas contained in the text." can be summarized to be "main idea".
Hope this helps :)
Sorry, in advanced, if it's wrong.
I guess that what is suggested about Lady of Shalott's love towards Sir Lancelot is that her love is impossible. She was cursed not to look at the city below her, yet she did and fell in love with Sir Lancelot, although she knew she could never be with him because of the curse. Her love is thus impossible, and even before she got to meet the love of her life, she died because their romance was doomed to fail even before it began.
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
The most likely meaning of metaphor in this sentence is that Amit's thoughts are confused and contradictory.
A Metaphor is the use of two contradictory words or ideas for the sake or purpose of emphasis. Examples are; all the world is a stage, John is a lion in the fields, Mary is a Chameleon, etc.
From the passage, the "river and the waves crashing" is metaphorical as it depicts Amit's feeling of confusion and disorder. Amit's wished Tamar never told him his secret as his thoughts are now in a state of clash and worry.
