Elizabethan tragedies were structurally similar to Seneca's plays as most Elizabethan tragedies include a Chorus, have complex plots, a five-act structure, long rhetorical passages.
The Elizabethan tragedy was the mostly influenced from the Senecan form of tragedy. Since the tragedies of Seneca was not acted on the stage, it took the help of figurative languages and rhetorical devices to fill the gap. Elizabethan plays were also filled with the descriptive usage of language, detailed descriptions and the use of long speeches. Shakespeare had borrowed the theme of revenge tragedy from the Seneca for his plays. The revenge taken is an outcome of the wrong and injustice done to the protagonist of the play. The theme of revenge is introduced by the spirit or supernatural creature in the play which leads the play further. “So art thou to revenge” this line shows the introduction of revenge in the play.
These themes have been introduced in the Elizabethan tragedies from the Senecan form of tragedies. In the play “Hamlet,” the protagonist is Hamlet whose father has been killed by his own uncle. He learns this fact from the spirit of his father who asks him to take revenge from his uncle. The spirit introduces himself as “Ghost I am thy father's spirit” to Hamlet.
The language of the play “Hamlet” contains figurative languages with long monologues and soliloquies with descriptive discussions. “A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark” this line shows the presence of figurative language in the excerpt.

Answer:
b.I treasure the brooch, but it is not my most valued possessions.
Explanation:
The line is taken from Edna St. Vincent Millay's short elegy poem "The Courage that My Mother Had". The poem is included in the collection <em>"Mine the Harvest"</em> published in 1949, one year before the death of the poetess.
The line "I have no thing to treasure more:" shows that the poetess has nothing which she treasures more than the golden brooch, to simply mean that she treasures the golden brooch more than anything else.
The second line contrasts (also signified by the use of contrast word <em>"yet"</em>) what is described in the first part. Here she says that she could still spare the brooch, meaning, she could leave it, or let it go (if she could get her mother's courage in return). Hence option B is correct.
Option A and D are completely incorrect stating opposite of what the poetess says and means in the given lines.
Option C is incorrect because firstly there is no mention of courage in these lines, secondly because, in next lines of the poem, we come to know she values courage more than the brooch.
