Read the excerpt. the boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, and all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave, awaits alike the inevitable hour. the paths of glory lead but to the grave. based on these lines from “elegy written in a country churchyard” by thomas gray, what does the speaker suggest about human life? fame and fortune are ultimately meaningless, because we all die. people who live in the country are more religious than those who live in the city. people should seize the day and live life to the absolute fullest. a person’s worth can be measured by his or her contributions to literature.

The speaker is saying that no matter how much power, beauty or wealth someone has, everyone dies in the end, death is inevitable so all the things someone acquires in life don't really mean anything. Therefore the correct answer would be option A: "Fame and fortune are ultimately meaningless, because we all die". Option B is incorrect because the author never mentions cities or the country. Option C is incorrect because the author doesn't convey that idea, he just says that everyone dies, and option D is incorrect because the author does not mention literature.
