Answer: With his description of nature during a typical evening, Thomas Gray contrasts the images of life with those of death.
Explanation:
The poem "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray deals with various themes, the most important of which is death. Death is presented as inevitable - it awaits all of us, whether we are rich or poor, high or low. The very setting of the poem gives it a somber tone - the creatures in the woods head towards their shelters, the farmer returns home with the herd. The speaker describes the trees under which country people rest in peace. The tone of the poem is melancholic, which perfectly portrays the theme of death. The image of the farmer and the animals which return to their rest is contrasted to that of the dead buried in the churchyard, which indicates that death is as natural as life.
Answer:
C Excessive Internet and video game usage hasn't been defined as an addiction in an official capacity, but it negatively impacts the lives of those who experience it.
F Our society's dependency on devices makes it difficult to change one's relationship with technology, but health and technology professionals are exploring solutions.
Explanation:
The article, "Screen Addiction Among Teens: Is There Such A Thing? by Anya Kamenetz clearly shows that experts have refused to call excessive usage of phones and other technological devices an 'addiction'. Evidence of this can be seen in the absence of such a diagnostic term in the vocabulary of the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual. Some others believe that it is a very strong word to be used in describing teenagers. An example is Maia Salavitz who believes that it is a 'strong move' to label someone an addict thereby implying that he has a chronic disease.
However, all of these do not rule out the fact that there is an addiction, and technology experts like Zichermann who developed an application to monitor usage, and health professionals who launch campaigns to discourage excessive usage are working hard to curb the [problem.
Answer:

"But when he looked up into Mr. Stonecrop's face, he shuddered. Mr. Stonecrop was laughing, and his mouth was pulled into a grin, but his eyes were as dead as marbles..."
