The correct answer is C. Poetry

Explanation:

The term "literal language" refers to the type of language that follows the denotation of words or their dictionary meaning which means when you use the literal language you mean exactly what you said because you are using the meaning of words. On the opposite, in the case of "figurative language" words are used to convey a different meaning than their dictionary meaning, because of this figurative language prevails in the case of figures of speech that are widely used in poetry and similar to create complex meanings.

This implies, while literal language can be found biographies, news and articles because in this the information is completely transparent and the words are linked to their literal or dictionary meaning, in the case of poetry literal language is not commonly found but figurative language as poets use different figures of speech in which words have a different meaning to their conventional meaning.

Read the following poem, “The Sun is Rising,” by John Donne. Which set of lines contains an example of a metaphysical conceit? B
grigory [225]

Metaphysical conceit is a concept associated to Metaphysical poets of the XVII century. It´s an intellectual device that sets an analogy between an entity in the physical world and one in the spiritual one. Thus, there´s reference to something inexistent or somehow uncommon, but necessary for the main idea.

In this poem, this rhetorical device can be seen:

-In the first lines “Busy old fool unruly sun, Why dost thou thus, Through windows, and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?” . Here, the writer directly addresses the Sun, asking him questions and pretending to have a conversation. This is typical of metaphysical poetry, as it is one-way conversation, the Sun can not answer.  

-In the line “ Thy beams so reverend and strong”, he is venerating the Sun´s rays making reference to religious aspects, typical of metaphysical poetry.

-In the line “ Must to thy motions lover´s season run?” we see the allusion to philosophical issues, such as Death, Love,etc. The sun marks time and season as we live on Earth.
