D. Metaphor

Explanation:

Lettre D. Metaphor would be correct.

A metaphor occurs when someone substitute a word's usual meaning by another, applied only through implied comparison, with the intention of giving a somewhat poetic tone to the message.

Although it's not clear by the excerpt provided what meaning the author actually meant to imply for 'babes of the sea', it is clear that 'babes' in this expression do not carry its orginal meaning ('child'; 'girl').

What are two examples or foreshadowing that poe uses?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

1 way-“I shall not die of a cough,” Montresor replies, “True,” because he knows that Fortunato will in fact die from dehydration and starvation in the crypt.

2nd way-The conversation about Masons also foreshadows Fortunato’s demise. Fortunato challenges Montresor’s claim that he is a member of the Masonic order, and Montresor replies insidiously with a visual pun. When he declares that he is a “mason” by showing his trowel, he means that he is a literal stonemason—that is, that he constructs things out of stones and mortar, namely Fortunato’s grave.

Why does Dickinson set the poem “Dying” in an ordinary bedroom, which isn’t even described? What might be her purpose in choosin
storchak [24]
I would think that setting the scene of someone dying is appropriate to be in a bedroom where a sick person would most likely be (if not in a hospital) such as someone in palliative care for example and the bedroom stillness is commented on  broken only by a fly and whose buzz perhaps accentuated the otherwise stillness. If the person's death was outside or in a public place it would more likely be the result of a, say an accident, or say an assassination such as that of Martin Luther King  so since it is inside in a bedroom it indicates the dying is just a normal death from illness and/or old age.
