In my opinion, the whole poem is quite ironic - although she is mentioning the exultation and the royal color of death, the poem itself begins with the narrator saying that she cannot breathe - that she doesn't want to die.
So, I would say that the ironic parts are:
Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea, -
Past the houses, past the headlands,
<span>Into deep eternity!</span>
The correct answer is C.
One characteristic of short stories is the great amount of symbolism that can be found in them.
Since novels do not have a word limit, the author can spend paragraphs or even full chapters describing settings and characters' personalities, looks and pasts. These may include a variety of words that we may not actually know but can infer from context.
While novels <em>may </em>have a symbolic meaning, it is much more difficult to analyse them in such a long story.
On the other hand, the briefness of short stories allow them to include a great amount of symbolism that can be much more easily analysed.
But to understand them, it is necessary to understand the meaning of each word, since they may be key to figure out a symbol within the story.
I believe that there are mostly advantages when it comes to this. Some advantages include higher household wages because a family where both parents (assuming a heterosexual relationship) are in the workforce, the household would be much more successful than if one parent was depending on the other. There are economic advantages, more people in the workforce, lower unemployment rate, higher productivity within citizens overall. We live in a world that is consistently advancing technologically, AI generated housekeeper robots may be something that may come sooner than we think. I have a robot that sweeps my floor and can be programmed to clean only on the hours that I am asleep. In a family, everyone should clean up after themself and do their part to maintain a nice and neat household. It is the responsibility of everybody that lives in the house not just the woman (if there even is a woman, because same sex relationships and single men exist).
