The correct answer is D. Cullen's poem is about humanity and interconnectedness of all people with their griefs, sorrows, and joys. Everybody should share other people's mischiefs. In fact, we cannot help it but share our problems and troubles. Pitching a tent might provide an illusion of protection, but it is only a matter of arrogance and selfishness. Other people's support, sympathy, and solidarity are the best protection we can get.
Explanation:
<em>1. "stood like a pillar of cloud torn"</em>
Figurative language: <u>a Simile.</u>
Meaning: A Simile is a figurative language that makes a comparison between two things of a different kind to make a vivid description using 'like' or 'as'. In this example, the author is comparing someone who stood to a 'pillar of cloud torn'. This compares how unadmiring a torn pillar of cloud is with the way the person stood.
2.<em> "faded banners of the departed summer ancient blood-stains against the dark-blue sky" </em>
Figurative language: <u>a Metaphor</u>
Meaning: a Metaphor is symbolic (non-literal) comparison of an object or action with another thing, action, or idea in other to explain an idea. Hence, the expression, "<em>summer ancient blood-stains" </em>refers to horrific events in the past that resulted in <em>"dark-blue sky"</em> (or grief).
