Answer:
C) In Ed’s latest story, “Evil Intentions,” darkness and nightfall symbolize death.
Explanation:
Contextual Symbols:
If the meaning of the symbol changes from culture to culture or from time to time, from text to text or from context to context they are referred to as contextual symbols. One example of contextual symbol is symbol of owl. Owl is a symbol of wisdom in the western countries while it is totally opposite in the Indian sub-continent - there, owl is symbol of foolishness. However, we can also say that owl is universal symbol of wisdom in the western countries (by qualifying the argument).
Universal Symbols:
If the meaning of symbolism remains the same in all cultures, locations, texts, it is called a universal symbol. For example pen and book are universal symbols of education. And, dove is a symbol of peace.
Darkness and nightfall in option D are universal symbols of death, sadness, fall.
Symbols used in option A, B, and D are contextual as their meaning vary from text to text and from culture to culture.
Answer:
The meter and rhyme create the mood of anxiety and apprehension
Explanation:
Rhyme and meter beautify the poem. Longfellow has used iambic pentameter and varied rhyme scheme in this 15-line fifth stanza. The rhyme is abba cc dd ee ff gg with line 11 stand alone. 'Dead' and 'spell' shows the anxious mood since 'secret dead' reveals stressful apprehension. 'Hill' and 'still' show the place and horrible silence where people were caught and killed. Dread and tread is coming of more such horrible scenes of dead people. Though the air tells 'all's well', there is an apprehension of 'the place and the hour'. The line not rhymed exhibits the tense mood since the 'thoughts are bent' which means the mind is not in proper thinking mood because of deadly environment. In the river, 'a line of black' is the horror that is in the offing.
