The correct answer and the way that Walt Whitman uses the extended metaphor to refer to Lincoln's death in his poem "Oh Captain! My Captain" (1865) is D. Whitman compares Lincoln's tragic death to a captain lying dead on the deck of his ship.

This comparison could be extracted from the very tittle of the poem, but it can also be suported by the lines "O the bleeding drops of red / Where on the deck my Captain lies / Fallen cold and dead"

There are more references to a ship captain throughout the poem, like "The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done" and multiple references as a refrain of the deck where he has fallen cold and dead.

Click to read "Sonnet 73" by William Shakespeare. Then answer the question. What is one possible theme of the poem?
STatiana [176]
One possible theme could be “how a person is affected by growing older”. Shakespeare compares old age to the seasonal shift. The narrator also describes how aging is harsh and ultimately comes to see its inevitability. Hope this helps!

In English, the past tense suffix is pronounced as [-t] in verbs like slapped, missed, and faked. However, it is pronounced as [
never [62]

Answer:

It has to do with voicing assimilation (voiced sounds vs, unvoiced sounds at the end of the word stem.) before the suffix is added.

Explanation:

Ex....

'P' is a voiced consonant (with your hand in front of your mouth, you feel a puff of air on your hand), so it's phonologically easier (more natural) to say a          '-t' sound immediately afterward.

'N,' in contrast has no puff of air, so it's a voiceless sound.
