Answer:
There is a long-standing dispute on the extent to which population growth causes environmental degradation. Most studies on this link have so far analyzed cross-country data, finding contradictory results. However, these country-level analyses suffer from the high level of dissimilarity between world regions and strong collinearity of population growth, income, and other factors. We argue that regional-level analyses can provide more robust evidence, isolating the population effect from national particularities such as policies or culture. We compile a dataset of 1062 regions within 22 European countries and analyze the effect from population growth on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and urban land use change between 1990 and 2006. Data are analyzed using panel regressions, spatial econometric models, and propensity score matching where regions with high population growth are matched to otherwise highly similar regions exhibiting significantly less growth. We find a considerable effect from regional population growth on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and urban land use increase in Western Europe. By contrast, in the new member states in the East, other factors appear more important.
Explanation:
The best choice is option C. A conceit is an "extended metaphor" - meaning it is drawn out or lengthy, possibly even explored throughout the entire poem. Another characteristic of a conceit is that it is often a surprising unexpected comparison - for example, comparing two things that are not at all related - which may help the author of the poem to more effectively grab the reader's attention.
<span>An example of a conceit in poetry includes Shakespeare’s well-known sonnet, Sonnet 18, which begins “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” Throughout the poem, the subject (the person the narrator is talking about) is compared to a summer's day, making this an extended metaphor.</span>
