Answer 1

The answer is c, death. The bones imply the corpse, the darkness implies the afterlife and the cold implies the cold body and lack of soul.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. Death.

Explanation:

The imagery is recognized as a literary tool that portrays actions in a manner that it proposes to our senses. The imagery stated here best portrays "death" as it includes all the characteristics of death. The word 'cold' implies 'dead body', the 'bones' imply the 'corpse' and 'darkness' symbolizes 'the post-death condition'. When these three figures are combined together it suggests a feeling of approaching death and provides a visual form to 'death'. It intensifies the metaphor of death. Thus, the imagery consisting of these three adjectives would propose approaching death.
