Question

1.

Answer 1

Answer: c) The storm eventually subsides and the sun comes out, showing how difficult times will always come to an end.

Explanation: The author uses the metaphor of bell-like flowers to describe a visual representation of a storm in a man's life. He uses contrastive connotations to represent the bittersweet process of the journey but ends the poem with a positive reference on the line "And the sweet earth flying from the thunder.", implying that the suffering caused by the rain before transformed into tranquility.
