The statement: "But old fears have a way of clinging like cobwebs" is related to figurative language as this demonstrates a simile.

Answer: D

Explanation

Simile, a figurative device of speech used in comparing two objects, events, places etc using connecting words like 'as' or 'like'.

Similes adds beauty and connection to other things that the poet addresses.  

Here the word 'like' can be seen in the statement.

The simile is used here to compare the clinging of old fears to cobwebs.

2. What do the words "Frigate" and "Coursers" mean? What does Dickinson mean when she compares literature to them?
scoray [572]
In this case, frigate means a ship because the poem summarizes that a ship cannot take you as far as a book can in literature. Coursers is referring to a horse, and there’s a context clue to support that; the word “chariot.” A chariot is a two-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle that was used a lot in myths and fables. The poem says that there is no ship (or form of transportation) in literature like a book, and that there is no horse that can take you away like poetry. If coursers did not mean horses, then the comparison between a page and a courser would not be personified.
