C. preposition...........
In spite of her rain-soaked clothing and appearance, it seemed to me that she had never looked lovelier.
This expression "....Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." implies that the people had got closely together - huddled- because they were tired and were yearning for freedom. Therefore, option D. <em>Tired / yearning</em> is the correct one. A. <em>Give / your </em>will not be helpful to infer the context since 'your' by itself conveys no meaning. B) <em>Masses / free </em> refer to the fact that the masses desired to be free , but they do not refer to the reason why the masses had got to be closely together. C) <em>Breathe / me </em> are not giving any hints; to breathe refers to the desire of the masses to be free and 'me' is a pronoum which by itself means nothing in this context.
The use of rhyme and repetition in "The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe, are meant to affect the reader in the following way:
It causes the reader to sense how desperate and devastated the speaker is.
Since the raven is a symbol of death and loneliness, as well as of a somber state of mind, the speaker wants it to leave his house. The presence of the animal affects the speaker in an unbearable way, since it reminds him of the loss of his significant other.
The rhymes make it for a feeling of frantic desperation, whereas the repetition, particularly "nothing more" and "nevermore", shows how strongly mourning affects the speaker, how devastated he is.
We can see how badly the speaker wants the bird to leave in the following passage:
"Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my
door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
The answer to this will be despairing
