I'm not 100% sure but I think it is A. Sorry if it is wrong.
In the story a Knight's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer Arcite is a Knight who imprisoned and falls in love with a beautiful woman named Emily. After being banished and never being able to see Emily again Arcite disguises himself as one of her servants and quickly becomes a part of Emily's household so he can be close to her once again. This is how Arcite was resourceful.
Answer:
a. the wish that he will meet God when he dies (it is, indeed, the correct choice)
Explanation:
A <em>bourne</em> is a literary word for a limit or boundary.
A <em>pilot</em> is an archaic word for a guide or a leader. The first letter is capitalized, which means it is not an ordinary guide or leader, but <em>the Guide </em>or <em>the Leader</em>. It is a pretty obvious reference to God, who, as Christians believe, guides us all.
Basically, what he says in these final lines is "although he may be carried beyond the limits of time and space as we know them, he retains the hope that he will look upon the face of his “Pilot”(i.e. God) when he has crossed the sand bar."
If you reread the entire poem, you will see that it is about Lord Tennyson's accepting death as an inevitable and natural part of life. He asks his family not to grieve over him when he dies. Nothing is said about love in the poem.
