D. A Window Sill
Second Blank Choices:
A. The athletes father
B. A reflective onlooker
C. The athlete's lover
D. A young athlete
Answer:
1)C
2) B
Explanation:
The expression "sil of shade" is an allegory that represents the end of life, that is, death. This shows that the poem brings a reflection on the moment when life is finished, how this end is inevitable and it is not possible to escape it. This reflection is passed on to the reader through the words of the speaker of the poem, who is also reflecting, which shows that he is a reflective thinker.
During act 2, scene 1, when Macbeth is waiting for the signal from Lady Macbeth, he hallucinates and sees a bloody dagger floating in front of him.
This vision is interpreted as Macbeth's guilt for the murder he is about to commit. The dagger he sees is the same weapon he is about to use to kill the king.
The part of speech is conjunction.
I believe the correct answer is: the claim of a human tyrant
of enduring glory is transient.
The theme of "Ozymandias", a poem written by Percy
B. Shelly, can be said to be that the claim of a human tyrant of enduring glory
is transient. This theme may be even broader, meaning that everything humans accomplish
is transient such as Ozymandias’ glory in this poem.
