Answer B: the speaker feels joy at the winner's heaven-sent glory.

 This lyric ode begins by describing the features of the normal, natural man: mere creatures whose time is limited and whose existence is a dream of a shadow. <em>Then starts a big contrast</em>: <em>But</em>. Now the writer is <em>very happy</em> <em>to tell that there is a power </em><em>sent from above,</em><em> which makes man </em><em>blessed and shine with glory.</em>

Answer: You could write about a superhero who is also a singer. For example, Ariana grande is a popular singer who is known for her iconic long, high pony. What people don’t know is that she wears it all the time because that is what gives her the ability to sing so amazingly. With her ponytail she can use her vocals to wipe out the villains and wow the crowd at a concert. No one can recreate or rock the ponytail like her and that is what makes her unique.

Explanation:

Some of her funny moves could be using sound waves(or her singing) to knock out the bad guys. Or she could use her use her ponytail to wrap around the villains and beat them.
