The value of life is an economic value used to quantify the benefit of avoiding a fatality. ...

In the story "Two Kinds," the author Amy Tan tells us about a mother and a daughter who live in America, but are of Chinese origin. We learn that the daughter wants to be a "Chinese Shirley Temple" and become famous through her dancing and her singing. On the other hand, her mother wants the daughter (Jing-mei) to be a genius. She forces her to take piano lessons, which Jing-Mei hates.
The author develops this conflict through the use of indirect characterization. While she rarely describes the mother and daughter in detail, she describes many events that allow us to create a picture of their behaviour. For example, we learn that Jing-mei hates the piano lessons when she does not care about learning and she does terribly at the recital. We also learn about the mother's expectations of her daughter when she talks about the "two kinds" of daughters that exist. In this way, the author develops the conflict between the two characters while giving the story complexity.
Petrarch's Sonnet 18 is about Laura, her beauty and Petrarch's incapability to describe her beauty in a proper way.
His love for her is related in this sonnet. He is continually praising her beauty
"When first I saw thee I recall the time,
Pleasing as none shall ever please again."
"...Full oft I oped my lips to chant thy name..."
It is also a poem about defeat. He uses repeatedly negative words and phrases to state clearly that her beauty is impossible for him to describe, "unsung...in my rhyme". He hasn't got any possibilities to make a proper description of her beauty, nor to describe her brightness.
"But ah, the pen, the hand, the vein I boast,
At once were vanquish'd by the mighty theme!
He uses negative words and phrases to strengthen the idea of his inability to make a suitable portrayal of her because her beauty is such that it exceeds his chance to describe it. He hasn't got the strength nor the genius.
The answer is the last one (c)
