Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" does not rely heavily on metaphors. It is rather a monologue delivered by the speaker describing a painting of his wife and his wife as a person when she was still living. The painting can be said to symbolize the wife, the last duchess. There are a few metaphors sprinkled throughout the poem, though, as the speaker paints a verbal portrait of his former wife.
When the speaker says in lines 1-2 "That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall, / Looking as if she were alive," his choice of words could be considered metaphorical. The duchess herself is not literally on the wall; rather, this is a painting or a likeness of her, which stands in for her throughout the poem. One of the few metaphors in the poem is the "spot of joy" referenced by the speaker. The speaker suggests that most people wonder what exactly makes his lady smile and appear happy in the painting.

Answer: C)
Explanation:
An argument is often called a thesis statement or a claim in writing and by that, an argument is representing the main idea of the literary text.
- The author is the one who is giving us the backed up evidence and reasons of an argument that are willing to support the main idea of it and that is why readers need to identify the author's claim.
It is also important for a better understanding of the main point of the literary text.
- A claim can also express a fact rather than support of a chosen side of an argument and that is why sometimes it cannot tell you what side the author is taking (answer a) or what the author is trying to convince the readers (answer b).
The passages mentioned are not listed in the question. I will give a clear distinction between arguments and explanations, the knowledge of this will help in providing answers to the question.
An explanation is an attempt to provide a cause or reason for a conclusion. It helps to provide reasons why a conclusion is made.
For example in the conclusion, "John will fail his exam", the writer can give a simple explanation to support his claim.
"The reason why i believe John will fail his exam is that he has not prepared well enough for it." is a simple explanation to support the above conclusion.
An argument is an attempt to provide an evidence in support of a conclusion.
This is done when the response of your audience is that of doubt an unbelief.
