Answer:

The correct answer is option D) show that nature can be harsh and unfeeling.

Explanation:

At the end of the fourth stanza of the poem <em>Sea Lullaby</em> written by <em>Elinor Wylie</em>, the phrase "for a joke" refers to the fact that nature has no regrets for that murdered child. As if it were a joke for her. <em>"She choked him and beat him to death, for a joke." </em>

The sea, in all its greatness dragged him and hit him with its waves.

Another form of insensitivity is when the author says <em>"Now in silence she lingers, Beside him all night, To wash her long fingers, In silvery light.”. </em>

Entertaining

At your aunt's retirement party, you would want to give a fun, entertaining speech incorportating a story about your aunt.

At a retirement party, you don't need to persuade anyone to do anything, since you knew about the retirement party, you would have planned a speech (so it would not be extemporanous and done spontasiously) and there's no need to inform anyone of anything at a retirement party.
