The correct answer and the sentence that best explains the meaning created by the metaphor in William Blake's "A Poison Tree" (1794) is C. The speaker nurtured his anger as one would nurture a tree.

Blake uses extended metaphor to make it easier to understand how his wrath grew, like a plant or a tree by his actions. There are several references to this fact: he watered it in fears and tears like you would water a plant. His anger grew like a plant and it bore fruit: an apple. Blake chose this fruit for the religious reference: It was the fruit that the devil used to tempt Adam and Eve. This fruit of anger is poisoned for the foe that beholds it shine.

Read the following passage: “I gazed at these marvels in profound silence. Words were utterly wanting to indicate the sensations
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct word is “gazed”. The verb gaze is used to describe the action of looking / staring at something for a long period of time – be it because that something being watched is impressive or simply because the watcher is distracted and pensive.  In the passage, the word gaze does NOT impact the mood.

What really impacts the mood in the passage are the other words – marvels, profound, wonder, mysterious, spectacle and phenomena – since their meaning convey an idea of something unnatural, exciting and incredible happening before the eyes of the narrator.

The passage was taken from the book <em>A Journey to the Centre of the Earth</em> by Julio Verne. The narrator is struggling to describe his sensations when he finds a gigantic cavern and the Central Sea below the surface of the Earth.
