My brother and I
Sometimes I wonder how we could be so different with my brother if we were raised in the same way. Although I think that we may have some similarities too.
Both my brother and me, were raised equally and we were given the same opportunities. As far as looks, people say that we are very much alike, both of us tall and thin, with fair complexion. In addition to that, we also have strong family values.
However, I can't find any more similarities than those listed above. Unlike my brother, I'm a very sociable person. He is reserved and doesn't have a lot of friends. Another extremely noticeable difference is that although money is important, my life doesn't spin around it while my brother is very materialistic.
Finally, our hobbies are completely different. I love nature and playing sports. Nevertheless my brother has never played a single sport in all his life. He is a bookworm and his ideal weekend is staying at home with a book and a movie.
To sum up, many siblings that have the same parents look a lot alike. Siblings that are raised the same usually share a lot in common. I can't imagine having a brother who is less like me then he is. It's hard to understand how we ended up so different, but were raised the same exact way. Nonetheless, there is one thing that won't change and that is the bond that we have through life, in spite of our differences.

Answer:
I believe the option that is a conceit in the selection to be:
D) the poet's willingness to accept the same fate as a flower
Explanation:
A conceit is a type of figure of speech. It is similar to an extended metaphor, but it uses unconventional comparisons. In other words, it goes beyond by providing an intellectual and complex comparison between two things that are dissimilar. Conceit seems to be quite common in metaphysical poetry, since metaphysical poets tend to develop their subjects and topics in a more intellectualized or sophisticated manner.
<u>Having that in mind, we can see how comparing one's life to that of a flower is quite metaphorical. But Herbert goes beyond. Not only does he compare his life to that of a flower, but he even accepts the same fate. The flower does not live long, but it does serve a purpose both when it is alive and when it is dead (ornament and cures, respectively). The speaker wishes the same for himself - he wants his life to be as purposeful as the flowers, even if he does not live for a long time. That seems to be quite a metaphysical interpretation of the comparison and, therefore, a conceit.</u>
