What causes the shepherd boy to become distracted and, as a result, lose sight of the young man who is holding his money, is that he sees a beautiful sword in a vendor's stall.
He was chasing after the man who stole his money, but became immediately distracted upon seeing the sword that he would like to have. He became mesmerized by the sword, thus the man with his money escaped from him and he couldn't see him anymore.
Im 99% sure the answer is B mostly because the others just don't make much sense.
It’s personification because it’s saying the sun is creating day
The correct answer is A: It emphasizes the finality of the captain’s death. This line is used to build tension in the poem, and is later used to describe the captain's death, upon which the speaker mourns and anguishes. The reason why I DON'T THINK that it is B is because the anguihing is not in the moment of the events occuring when the refrain "Follen cold and dead" is stated. It is certainly not C or D, but it could be B. Take a gamble, but I think that it is A beuase of what I stated above.
I hop this helps!
