Answer:
B. The universe began expanding with the Big Bang and it is still expanding today.
Explanation:
The universally accepted theory about how the universe came to be as it is now is the Big Bang theory, which describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of extremely high density and high temperature. As the universe kept expanding, it began to cool down. It is still expanding even now. New galaxies, nebulae, stars, and planets are born all the time, while old ones die. The universe is constantly changing and it is full of life.
This is why option B is the correct one.
Fire is an important symbol in Frankenstein for many reasons.
1. Dr Frankenstein is compared to a 'modern Prometheus': Prometheus, in Greek mythology, gave fire (which symbolized knowledge) to humans and then suffered an eternal punishment for that. Frankenstein is trying to bring his own gift of knowledge (life) to humanity but his life is also ruined through this process.
2. Fire also is something that has two sides, each that can help or hurt. Building a fire can create warmth and light, but too much of it can cause death and destruction. This is also shown through Frankenstein's creation of the monster. Think of the saying "playing with fire".
(In a more specific instance, when the monster realizes that fire can destroy he uses it as a weapon (burning the villager's cottage) )
3. Fire also represents passion and desire. Both Frankenstein and the monster possess this fire--Frankenstein for knowledge and creation, the monster for acceptance. This fuels both of their efforts through the novel.
