I think the poem in question is actually "Ashes of Life" by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
If your question pertains to the subject of the poem as a whole, I believe the correct answer to your question is B. metaphor.
Metaphor means that a thing is not to be regarded in its literal sense, but as representative of something else. In this case, there are no ashes in the poem. But they are a metaphor of what's left of her life now that her beloved has abandoned her. We can also take this as an example of imagery, suggesting that she was burning with love, and now only ashes have remained.
However, if you take a closer look at some of the lines, such as "<span>Love has gone and left me", it is a personification - giving human attributes to animals, abstract notions, or non-living things.</span>
Read the excerpt from The Code Book. The difference between ordinary and digital mail can be illustrated by imagining that Alice wants to send out invitations to her birthday party, and that Eve, who has not been invited, wants to know the time and place of the party. If Alice uses the traditional method of posting letters, then it is very difficult for Eve to intercept one of the invitations. . . . In comparison, Eve's task is made considerably easier if Alice sends her invitations by e-mail.
How does the author support the claim that ordinary and digital mail are very different?
by citing statistics about both kinds of mail
by offering quotes from experts on the subject
by relating a personal experience of both kinds of mail
by sharing a hypothetical story as an example of the subject
Answer:
by sharing a hypothetical story as an example of the subject
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from The Code Book, the author talks about digital and ordinary mail and the advantages of each. He explains this by making a hypothetical scenario where Alice is sending out invitations via electronic mail and Eve who has not been invited wants to know the time and date, which would have been difficult if the invitation were sent through hand.
Therefore, the author supports the claim that ordinary and digital mail are very different by sharing a hypothetical story as an example of the subject.
I think i found the paragraph:
There are a few exceptions. In the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford University sits a battery-powered bell that has been ringing since the year 1840. The bell “rings” so quietly it’s almost inaudible, using only a tiny amount of charge with every motion of the clapper. Nobody knows exactly what kind of batteries it uses because nobody wants to take it apart to figure it out.
Answer choices for the above question
A. The battery-powered bell at Oxford will last forever.
B. Researchers don’t want to risk breaking the battery-powered bell.
C. The author believes there is a light inside the bell.
D. The reverberations of the bell might give off a light charge in extreme darkness.
Answer:
B - Researchers don’t want to risk breaking the battery-powered bell.
