Answer:
Both excerpts present examples of legal oppression.
Explanation:
The excerpts presented in the question above are two examples of legal oppression, where someone or something possessing political power harmed a person or a group of people civilly, injuring the rights of citizens and causing civil and political damage through excess of authority. It is possible to reach this conclusion because in the first text, we can see that someone suspended all the laws adopted by a community, so that it could govern according to its own will. In the second text, we can see that a woman's property rights were taken away from her, because it did not seem profitable to someone with political power.
Once again, Melville devotes a chapter to the minutiae of the whaling industry, but in this case he extends his description of the whale line to its more metaphorical implications. Ishmael compares the whale line to a noose, and in turn compares this noose to the mortality of all humans. Once again, this metaphor takes on sinister implications, a reminder of impending death and destruction that may come at any moment.

Answer:
The theme of the poem is A. Memories provide opportunities for gratitude.
Explanation:
But let's face it: it is a sad gratitude. The speaker in the poem "The Self-Unseeing", by Thomas Hardy, is looking back at a childhood memory. The memory itself is happy and inspires gratitude. His father playing the fiddle, his mother sitting by the fire... Those were joyful times! However, there is some regret as the poem ends. The speaker realizes he did not pay attention to the happy moments while he was living them, back when he was younger. He seems to resent himself for that. Yet, his appreciation is now fully expressed through the poem.
D. The man in the yellow suit who was looking for someone.
