Answer 1

Hello. You forgot to show that Part A shows that the summary of the poem is:

"A mother and her family find courage to climb the icy steps to a lighthouse tower and turn on the lantern."

Answer:

E. "She fed the lamp, and she trimmed it well, / And its clear light glowed afar" ( Lines 41-42)

A. And the light-house lamp, a golden star, / Flamed over the waves’ white yeast." ( Lines 7-8)

Explanation:

"The lighthouse lamp" is a poem written by Margaret E. Sangster and tells the story that a mother and daughter were alone inside a lighthouse, very cold, when the light of the lighthouse went out. It was very dangerous to go up the stairs to turn on the light and they were both very afraid to do so, but they knew it was necessary to help the sailors and avoid accidents. As a result, even frozen and frightened, they went up and turned on the light, leaving them proud and at peace.
