Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

In the novel, Things Fall Apart by the African legendary author and professor of Literature, Chinua Achebe, The war magic of Umuofia and the market magic of Umuike are personified as old women.

The reason for such personification is that these spirits behind the markets which are actually great and quite powerful wished to disguise themselves in order to be perceived as being weak and frail by the people who doubt them.

C. The theme

Explanation:

"And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all". The take-home message is "death conquers all." At the beginning of the story, the Red Death was all over Prospero's kingdom, but Prospero himself fled and created a place that was supposedly safe from death.

Answer:

a. the wish that he will meet God when he dies (it is, indeed, the correct choice)

Explanation:

A bourne is a literary word for a limit or boundary.

A pilot is an archaic word for a guide or a leader. The first letter is capitalized, which means it is not an ordinary guide or leader, but the Guide or the Leader. It is a pretty obvious reference to God, who, as Christians believe, guides us all.

Basically, what he says in these final lines is "although he may be carried beyond the limits of time and space as we know them, he retains the hope that he will look upon the face of his “Pilot”(i.e. God) when he has crossed the sand bar."

If you reread the entire poem, you will see that it is about Lord Tennyson's accepting death as an inevitable and natural part of life. He asks his family not to grieve over him when he dies. Nothing is said about love in the poem.
