B. It conveys the personal nature of the speaker’s journey.

In the poem the speaker details a horse drawn carriage as death picking her up to take her away. She rides along looking out of the carriage at the scenery. The speaker of the poem does not sound angry or lonely. Her journey with death is one that is matter of fact and not resisted. This tone eliminates options C and D. Also, the purpose of the carriage ride is to demonstrate the journey into death. This helps support the answer as B, along with the phrases "but just Ourselves" as including only the speaker and Death.

Find the error in possessive construction in the following sentence. The sentence contains one error. Write the correct sentence
Triss [41]
The error in the possessive construction is that, instead of passenger's, it should be "passengers'". The apostrophe should be after the letter "s" because the noun is in the plural form. The correct sentence would be "Passengers' concerns about cell phone use on planes are justified."

What is the theme of Mark Twain's "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"?
Setler79 [48]
I would say the answer is D. One should never bet on anything.

But this isn't any kind of a moral to the story. This story wasn't intended to sound didactic, or to judge anyone. It is a humorous account of a man who tricks another man by wasting his time on a story about a third man who was tricked. So, it is a story about unreliability and relativity of stories and people's accounts in general. The narrator came to inquire Simon Wheeler about Leonidas Smiley, but Wheeler, having no information about him (or not being willing to give it away), takes the opportunity to talk about another Smiley, a man who liked to gamble.
