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.
The most probable answer to this problem would be C. A global mass extinction.
The Mesozoic Era or what they commonly refer to as the age of the dinosaurs, is yet to be established as to what really did cause the extinction of life during this era. The popular belief and what is shared to the public to be remembered is that it was caused by an asteroid impact. The dust and ashes that it produced blocked the sky for days which caused the continuous death of organisms. In other sources, it can be said that massive volcanic eruptions occurred and filled the atmosphere with carbon dioxide. With the help of microbes eating carbon dioxide, they superheated the planet because in the process, these microbes eat carbon dioxide and release methane. Another one would be massive and continuous volcanic release of lava. It wasn't exactly determined if either one or maybe all of them occurred at once to wipe out life on that era.
Semiconscious. hope this helped
