The best answer is included elements of mystery, superstition, symbolism, and the supernatural.

Gothic is the portrait of the power of darkness of doom. Gothic fiction attacks the institutions which might inhibit the freedom of the individual. Corruption, greediness, lust is always projected in aristocrats or priests. And all the symbols of authority, secular or ecclesiastic, are in ruins: monasteries, churches, abbeys, castles, mansions, towers, ramparts. The Gothic hero is a rebel and he challenges the rules and attacks institutions. He is, therefore, the enemy of heaven. Through the Gothic modes, the obsessive concerns of American life could find expression.

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The most likely meaning of metaphor in this sentence is that Amit's thoughts are confused and contradictory.

A Metaphor is the use of two contradictory words or ideas for the sake or purpose of emphasis. Examples are; all the world is a stage, John is a lion in the fields, Mary is a Chameleon, etc.

From the passage,  the "river and the waves crashing" is metaphorical as it depicts Amit's feeling of confusion and disorder. Amit's wished Tamar never told him his secret as his thoughts are now in a state of clash and worry.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Phillis Wheatley is known to be the mother of Africa-American literature because of her iconic poems about the experiences of many African-Americans in the American shores. Her iconic poems range from the cultural tradition, Christian sermons and racial discrimination amongst the African-Americans in the United States.

Her first work was about a letter to her fellow servant in 1776. Her letter was sold to an auction for $ 253,000.  She was brought to the American shores when she was 7 or 8 years old through the Middle Passage. She was encouraged by her owner, Susanna and John Wheatley to study.  Because of this, she became fond of writing literature. Later on, her poems were publshed in the local newspaper.
