Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Because the mind is not imprisoned".

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, who was abolitionist that at one time spent one night in jail for not paying the taxes because he did not agree with the Mexican–American War or slavery. Henry David Thoreau took advantage of his night in jail and took the story of his cellmate as an inspiration for his essays. In his book "Resistance to Civil Government" ("Civil Disobedience") he argues that imprisonment is ineffective because in his own experience the government could imprison his body, but his mind and his spirit would always remain free.

How authors use characterization to support theme in literature.
musickatia [10]
Authors use characters to show the theme. The story is the outgrowth of the theme. If an author wants to write about love lasting forever, he may write a love story with two people who realize that they are going to die and find the fountain of youth, or something like that.

Based on the phrases "I am wounded with iron" and "I have witnessed much fighting," the shield in the poem must be an old shield
VladimirAG [237]
She is supporting an inference from the text. An inference is something that is implied, and the person saying they've "witnessed much fighting" infers that they're old, whereas "I am wounded with iron" can be taken to mean he's been wounded by a weapon like a sword.
