Answer:

"On Being a Cripple" by Nancy Mairs (1986)

The claim in Nancy's article or short story is, "I am a cripple."

Explanation:

Nancy's claim is the assertion about her physical condition. Nancy does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation.  Unfortunately, there is no way for the reader to verify Nancy's reason for describing herself as a "cripple."  Her claim remains subjective or a matter of the narrator's personal opinion.  Nancy can even claim that her physical condition is a divine blessing.

Many imprecise descriptions are coined by society to label some people.  Nancy feels that the truth or bluntness about a person's condition cannot lessen the pain nor denigrate the person. There are humorous meanings to be derived when described as a "cripple" without the use of meaningless metaphors.

“My love is like to ice, and I to fire;/How comes it then that this her cold so great/Is not dissolved by my so hot desire....”
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

B. Unreciprocated love

Note: It is 'love' not 'live' (I guess it was a typo).

Explanation:

These opening lines of Sonet 30 (Amoretti XXX: My Love is like to ice, and I to fire) by Edmund Spenser (‎1569–1599).

Spenser in these lines uses two metaphors of opposite qualities. He says that by beloved's (Elizabeth Boyle) love is like ice, and my love for her is like ice. What he is not able to understand is that, either his beloved's love (ice) should be melted by fire, or his love fire be quenched by water of ice (when it melts from fire). But nothing happens, it is like stalemate. She does not reciprocate his love, neither is his love (fire) for her put out by her (ice/water). It is a paradox for him to understand.

Elizabeth Boyle in the start did not like Spenser because of his old age, and because of him being a widower. So, the speaker/Edmund Spenser is lamenting this unreciprocated loved from his beloved.

Option A, C and D are not correct because these lines have no metaphor or any other mention to brevity of life, poverty, and physical comfort.
