Answer: Option D

Explanation:

First person narrative is a type of storytelling method where only one person narrates a story by using words such as ‘I’ and ‘we.’ Both these poems are an example of first person point of view where the poet Emily Dickinson describes the poems from her point of view.

‘Some keep the sabbath going to church’ is a poem about the love and faith people have on God. ‘Because I couldn’t stop for death’ on the other hand is a poem where Emily explains how death is an ultimate truth and every journey ends with death.
