Answer:
A- “to relate an abstract concept to something real”
Explanation:
The point of this passage is definitely not for the sake of putting in food readers may like. The point is to put in an abstract concept-love- and make a metaphor(comparing it) to real life things to help the reader visualize what the author is trying to say better.
I think the answer is C
Good luck!
<span>She says how insignificant material possessions are when compared to her feelings of love. She also uses financial imagery to compare her love with that of her husband’s.
It appears in lines 5 and 6, with her mention of “mines of gold” and “the riches that the East doth hold.” She uses these examples of wealth to show that the riches are grand they are worth less to her than the love of her husband.
</span>Lines 3-4: She dares other women to even try to compare their happiness with hers. To my understanding of the poem the answer cannot be B.
Extra: Line 7 can compare to that of the Song of Solomon when on Chapter 8: 7 the beautiful sulemite tells her shepherder: "Waters cannot quench love" (JW.ORG) the same compared in this poem on line 7 explains: "<span>Rivers cannot quench” her love</span>
