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.

IRINA_888 [86]

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address describes the bravery of Union soldiers where Lincoln speaks about the sacrifices of the soldiers and what it meant for the war during that time. He applies certain diction for the speech in order to make it more memorable.

In Letter to His Son, Robert Lee uses subjective style of writing because the author addresses to his own son and therefore the language is more personal. Like, Lincoln's speech, the letter also concerns the importance of the soldier's resistance for the fate of the Union.

The correct answer is D.

Why did Lady Macbeth Collapse when she heard the death of Duncan?

Dafna11 [192]

Hope this helps. Lady Macbeth may actually faint in astonishment that her husband has killed the guards in an act that was not part of their plan in murdering Duncan. She could be shocked that he has acted so boldly when she had to question his manhood in order to provoke him to kill the king. On the other hand, she may be faking.
