The meaning of the phrase "the clouds that lour'd upon our house" is misfortunes. This phrase serves as a metaphor of troubles. The excerpts tells us that the 'clouds' are 'buried' which means they are gone. After that you can see the description of happy times that reign of king Edward IV has brought. In other words, with the reign of the king, all the misfortunes are buried and '<span>Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;'.</span>
Answer: A. Elenita versus the music of her parents' homeland.
Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt from Gravity by Judith Ortiz Cofer we can see an example of an external conflict between a character (Elenita) and the music of her parents' homeland, which her mother used to listen to in the evenings.

Talk: if the word "did"(helping verb) is in front of the word it is meaning that someone spoke in the past, but if the helping verb "will" is before the word it means that someone is going to speak in the future (most likely about to start talking)
talk-"ing": the same thing as "talk" EXCEPT "ing" is a suffix which means presently, so "talking" means that someone is currently speaking.
talk-"ed": once again the same thing, however, the suffix "ed" means already DID or in the past.
talk- "en": actually this is sadly not an english word, but the suffix "en" means made of. For example, "golden" means MADE OF gold.
Hope this helped:)
