The best choice is option C. A conceit is an "extended metaphor" - meaning it is drawn out or lengthy, possibly even explored throughout the entire poem. Another characteristic of a conceit is that it is often a surprising unexpected comparison - for example, comparing two things that are not at all related - which may help the author of the poem to more effectively grab the reader's attention.
<span>An example of a conceit in poetry includes Shakespeare’s well-known sonnet, Sonnet 18, which begins “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” Throughout the poem, the subject (the person the narrator is talking about) is compared to a summer's day, making this an extended metaphor.</span>
Answer:
He brings a black lamb as a sacrifice.
Explanation:
Odysseus summons the spirit of Tiresias by bringing a lamb to sacrifice. Odysseus is summoning the dead in a way called <em>necya</em>. It means that some dead being has to be sacrificed.
In this case, Odysseus cut off the head of the black lab and fill in the pit with its blood. This way the spirits were attracted. He gave the most of the blood to Tiresias as he was the only one who could prophetize after his death.
