Donne is using both personification and apostrophe in these lines. He is using apostrophe when he speaks to death as though it were a person who could hear it and respond to him. he also personifies death as if it were a person who could feel proud or be "mighty" and "dreadful".

Answer:

PART A

The correct answer is option A.

By using words such as studied, learned, and lessons, Keller helps readers understand that spending time in the natural world was a positive experience that taught her a great deal.

In paragraph 1, we can say that Helen's description of nature was a great deal as it taught her all she now knows. Hence the line, “The loveliness of things taught me all their use”. She describes nature as a teacher without which she would not have been able to understand things.

We can also say that the "outdoor" lessons helped her a great deal.

PART B

The correct answer is B.

It captures how excited Keller was to experience the natural world and learn from it.

Helen Keller could not wait to experience more of the natural world. She was excited to learn from nature as she finds solace in it. Hence, "Sometimes I rose at dawn and stole into the garden while the heavy dew lay on the grass and flowers".
