Answer:

King Leopold II was the ruler of the Congo Free State, and the King of Belgium. He was interested in the Congo river basin because there were many natural resources such as rubber, minerals, ivory, diamonds, and gold. Keen on establishing Belgium as an imperial power, he led the first European efforts to develop the Congo River basin, making possible the formation in 1885 of the Congo Free State, annexed in 1908 as the Belgian Congo and now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marche
seraphim [82]

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

Hearts beat in time to funeral marches.

Our hearts beat like drums.

Many things take a long time.

Each day we move closer to death.

Answer:

Each day we move closer to death.

Explanation:

The verse of "A Psalm of Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow shows that our life is finite and that each day lived is one day less, because although we make art, we get emotional, we do fun things that fill our hearts with joy and happiness , each beat of our heart is one beat less in the time that we are left alive, leaving us closer and closer to death.

This is very evident in the line "[Our hearts] are beating Funeral marches to the grave."
