My answer is D) The years gone by
The following is my reasoning:
This poem has a theme of losing a loved one and the process of aging and in the lines "Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled / And paced upon the mountains overhead / and hid his face amid a crowd of stars." The narrator wrote this poem for his wife to read in her old age, assuming he wrote this for her before his own death (this statement is supported by the first stanza of the poem).
The correct answer is A. To show the author's previous experience in this field.
Explanation
The letter is a means of communication through which one person or institution communicates with another. Letters are a means of sending or receiving a message. For a long time, letters written on paper were used and over time, they were transformed to become a digital medium. Like any other writing, letters must have a specific objective, for example, to inform, explain, describe, among others. In this case, the letter is written by one person to inform another of her experience in the retail area where she mentioned the three previous experiences she has had in the retail field. Therefore, it is possible to affirm that this letter has the purpose of showing the previous experience of the author in this field. So the correct answer is A.
The author’s purpose in writing the paragraph is to point out the differences and similarities, to compare and contrast.
