This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are as follows:
[...]To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Which statement BEST states the theme of this poem?
A) Anyone can fall in love.
B) Love is risky and should be avoided.
C) Love causes people to become irrational.
D) Love is the greatest of all human experiences.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter D) Love is the greatest of all human experiences.
Explanation:
Those lines were taken from the poem "On Love
", by author Kahlil Gibran. According to the speaker of the poem, love is a superb feeling, one that can melt you, that can give wings to your heart, that can bring praise to your lips. He does not talk only and necessarily about romantic love. It seems to be a more transcendental form of love, one that does not possess nor is possessed; one that places you "in the heart of God" - blissfully and selflessly. It is plain to see that the speaker thinks highly of love. He sees it as the greatest of all human experiences - the experience every person must allow themselves to have thoroughly.
Simile. if it uses like or as it is a simile
I believe your answer is D.
It's got to be C because none of the others relate to collaboration, but I'd say if you were unsure about this answer then the only other sensible one could be B, but I'd go with C.
