Answer:

D The light shines and then disappears.

Explanation:

In the poem "On the Shore" by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, the metaphorical meaning of line 9 is 'the light shines and then disappears.' The poet says that though the light emitted from the lighthouse can be seen from afar, it only lasts for a while.

Through "A moment of bloom, and then it dies ", she says that the light at first shines and blooms like a rose with full vibrant and energy. However, it soon fades away slowly by dawn when the morning light rises from the horizon.

This is why the poet says that light of the lighthouse is short-lived and only comes with its full glory during the night time.

Read the passage below. Then explain how the use of a third-person omniscient point of view helps develop the characters in the
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:     The use of a third-person point of view helps develop the characters of this story by showing the thoughts of all the characters. For example, when Milo was finished playing his movie for his friends, it shares his thoughts. “Milo was excited to hear their thoughts on his first short film but was nervous just the same.” All of his friends disliked his movie, and you could tell because they were all thinking about how it was the worst movie, or drifting off. Like how in the text it says “Britt kept thinking that this was the worst movie she'd ever seen, like it was made in 10 minutes on someone's smartphone. Clay had drifted off halfway through and had become more concerned by a bird that was flapping outside the basement window.” That is how the use of a third-person omniscient point of view helps develops the characters.
