In this story, illness -specifically mental illness- is seen as temporary, and is not taken seriously. This is seen at the very beginning of the story, when the narrator indicates that her husband (a doctor) does not believe that she is truly ill. When a person is experiencing mental illness in this story, they are also believed to be cured by rest, exercise, and fresh air. Rather than today's methods of therapy and/or medication, the story describes merely taking a break from work and going away until one seems to be better.

I think the poem in question is actually "Ashes of Life" by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
If your question pertains to the subject of the poem as a whole, I believe the correct answer to your question is B. metaphor.
Metaphor means that a thing is not to be regarded in its literal sense, but as representative of something else. In this case, there are no ashes in the poem. But they are a metaphor of what's left of her life now that her beloved has abandoned her. We can also take this as an example of imagery, suggesting that she was burning with love, and now only ashes have remained.
However, if you take a closer look at some of the lines, such as "<span>Love has gone and left me", it is a personification - giving human attributes to animals, abstract notions, or non-living things.</span>
Answer:
An allusion is a literary device that provides greater context to the work at hand by referencing a previous work of art, a person, a place, an event, or a situation—usually of some social, political, or historical significance.
For example: You're acting like such a Scrooge! Alluding to Dickens's A Christmas Carol, this line means that the person is being miserly and selfish, just like the character Scrooge from the story.
