Answer:
Bilbo regains consciousness in pitch black. Crawling along the tunnel, he picks up a metal ring, “almost without thinking.” Taking comfort from the discovery that his little sword is also an elvish blade that shines when goblins are near, he starts walking down the tunnel but stops when he walks into cold water.
When Gollum can’t find his ring, he guesses (correctly, this time) that Bilbo has it and comes to attack Bilbo. As Bilbo runs away, he puts his hand in his pocket to figure out what he does have there, and the ring slips onto his finger. Gollum runs past, and Bilbo follows Gollum to the “back door.” There Gollum stops, smelling many goblins, and blocks the passage. Eventually, he senses Bilbo and readies himself to spring. Bilbo briefly contemplates killing him, but a “sudden understanding, a pity mixed with horror, welled up in Bilbo’s heart,” and he jumps over Gollum instead.
Bilbo runs to the door and is seen by the goblins because the ring has slipped off his finger. He puts it back on, dodges goblins, and eventually squeezes through the door, leaving “his nice brass buttons” all over the doorstep.

D. This voice highlights the absurdity of thinking that there is something wrong about a wet umbrella.
Explanation:
Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote "Uses and Abuses of the Umbrella" to present a humorous take on the importance and concept of the umbrella. The hilarious story delves into how the speaker 'assumes' to be the true way to use the umbrella.
In the given passage from the story, Marquez stated that <em>"a wet umbrella is an accident, a barbarism, a spelling mistake"</em>. This is to say that there is no use for an umbrella that is wet. Moreover, by further stating that such umbrellas <em>"must be spread open in a corner until it is fully corrected and has become a true umbrella once again"</em> shows how the speaker thinks of wet umbrellas. The voice highlights how absurd anyone can be in thinking that there is something wrong with a wet umbrella.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Answer: Authorial Intrusion. Or repetition.
Explanation: Repetition: The use of the word love is repeated in 3 lines within this poem. Another device would be metaphor because in this work love is being compared to being a game and being cruel.
Authorial Intrusion: Because the poem is written in first person, and the narrator is speaking directly to the reader.
