Answer:

C) Happiness

Explanation:

The word "felicity" refers to "happiness." In this excerpt, the author wants to show that the person in question went from a feeling of agitation and stress to one of happiness. We can also observe this in the fact that the person suddenly "became calmer and more happy" when he realized that he was actually happy, or that he was in a state of "felicity."

Read this excerpt from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe
Sati [7]

The statement which best explains what the word choice in this excerpt reveals  about Crusoe is the following: "the phrase 'it was a merry reflection' reveals that Crusoe is happy  and content" (D).

The general tone of the excerpt is positive, almost cheerful. This is indicated by the author's use of phrases like "how like  a king I looked" or "it was remarkable." The fact that Crusoe finds something as neutral as his reflection "merry" also shows that he is optimistic about his current situation.

1. What is the difference between the way Dylan Thomas and Alfred, Lord Tennyson use figurative language to describe death? Writ
andrew-mc [135]
In the poem from Dylan Thomas, ''Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,'' he is convincing and telling his father to fight away death. In the poem, Dylan wrote, ''dying of the light,'' quoting that he is referring to death. To accompany the situation and description of death he writes, ''Do not go gentle into that goof night.'' Throughout the poem Thomas is convincing the readers to deny death and fight it. The writer uses imagery to paint a vivid picture inside the readers head. 
''The Charge Of The Light Brigade'' is a poem by Lord Tennyson, that tells a story to the readers. The story is abut how the Light brigade went to war. The writer uses terrifying description of the war and how the men died: <span> “Shattered and sundered. They rode back, but not, not the six hundred.” When reading the poem you receive a sense of anxiousness as the poem goes on to describe the war. 
The Dylan Thomas poem says you should fight death, but Lord Tennyson's poem says you should somewhat accept it.
