taurus [48]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

although i have not read the article, i can conclude from the keywords (grave & egyptian), that the answer is probably D.

the backstory behind my reasoning is that it's called a Grave Matter. that eliminates the possibility of answer 'A'. also, i believe we can eliminate C, because the name of the article makes me think otherwise. B is probably a contestant, but my choice (if i haven't read the article) would be D. please let me know if this works or not.

Shakespeare's references to the moon symbolize the characters’ perception of their circumstances, while Ovid uses the moon in the setting.

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Shakespeare's treatment of the moon in show "A Midsummer Night's Dream" varies from Ovid's utilization the moon in the legend "Pyramus and Thisbe" by symbolizing characters impression of the conditions – Pyramus right off the bat thanks the Moon for his light which symbolizes his brilliant future with Thisbe.

But then he sees her clock recolored with blood and calls upon the Furies to murder him (his view on conditions changes). Then again, Ovid utilizes the moon only for the setting, there are no implications of ghastly end.
