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.

Why did Spain fight France and England? Where do I find the answer
makkiz [27]
The Anglo-Spanish War, is what I’m assuming your asking about.

1585–1604 was when sporadic conflict between the lands of Spain and England that was never formally declared.

The war started by widely separated battles, and began with England's military expedition in 1585.

You can find the answer in public libraries since we’re also learning about the war.
