The connotative meaning of the word "heart" is passion. Unlike denotative meaning, which is the literal meaning of a word as defined in a dictionary, connotative meaning is the meaning that depends on the emotional context. So, a heart has one connotation when we speak about a surgery, and a totally different connotation when we talk about a broken heart, for example.

In this poem, the speaker tells us how "they" coerce a man to give all of his being to the political cause that he might or might not believe in. In the aforementioned line, the man has to give his breast, heart, and shoulders - his soul, passion, and strength, therefore everything he has, as if it were a commodity.

I am 100% sure about this.

What is the difference between a metaphor and a symbol
Ahat [919]
A metaphor does not need to use like or as. A metaphor typically says one thing is another thing, but doesn’t always suggest that they are the same thing. Symbolism is similar to metaphor, but symbolism is usually implied, while metaphor is explicit. For example, “Juliet is the sun” is a metaphor, but not a symbol, while heavy rain could be a reference to Noah’s Ark and be a symbol of cleansing. In the second case, the comparison is not stated, but is implied.
Based on these definitions, B and C are definitely wrong, but neither A or D is completely right. I’d still say that D is the best answer though.

present tense

when we are describing events that happen in works of literature we should describe it in the present tense because literature is all about presents works although there a little of old works. literature is all about life characterization of humans because it deals with our emotions, feelings. it deals with prose, drama, and poetry.
