Yes you are correct on this one. The answer is C. Symbolism.
Symbolism is a  <span>symbolic meaning attributed to natural objects or facts.

Answer:

Symbolism

Explanation:

Symbolism, as a figurative language, invests objects, traits, colors, animals, etc. with a symbolic meaning that is different from their actual form. In the excerpt, the black box aims to represent another concept, perhaps, it represents how things or beings become old, weary or less attractive with the passage of time.

The other options are incorrect because the passage does not make any comparison (metaphor or simile), and there are no objects nor animals with human attributes (personification).

umka21 [38]
Fitzgerald's message about the American Dream is that it is all disillusionment, meaning fake or not real. In his novel The Great Gatsby, Gatsby throws disillusionment all over the place. He seems like he has friends but when his time comes to have a funeral only one person calls and the person calling just wants his clothing back from Gatsby.

blondinia [14]
The passage above highlights one of <em>The Open Boat</em>'s theme: Man's existence insignificance. The characters in the book often rant against fate, to cover for (the argument Crane's trying to make)  the sense that in the end all there is, is nothingness.
