The basic theme is forgetfulness, plain and simple, but the underlying issues are many and include that of identity versus time, tragedy versus comedy and life story versus trivial detail. All of us face memory loss sooner or later so the poem deals with the universal as well as the personal.

How does word indicate a possible misspelled word? Select one:
Jlenok [28]

Word indicates a possible misspelled word with a red wavy line that appears beneath it, so option B) is the correct one.  

As regards option D) the bold green line that appears beneath the word is to show an incorrect grammar structure such as no subject- verb agreement.  

Options A) and B) do not apply for misspelled words. A beep sound applies after a grammar and spelling check for example. Also, the spelling dictionary does not pop up automatically as it is available when doing the grammar and spelling check.
