Analyze the cumulative impact of raleigh's word choices on the meaning and tone of the poem of the nymphs reply to the shepard

I think the best answer among the following choices that tells on how is Pertelote, a hen, is compared to Hasdrubal's wife and the best answer would be letter A. Pertelote's devotion to her husband is compared to that of Hasdrubal's wife.

OR

I would say that the correct answer is that Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife. He died, and his wife is crying, which is similar to the hen.

answer: b. grete might have remained as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the story.

one of the most interesting characteristics of gregor's metamorphosis is that, although he is the only character who has physically changed, it is this same change which triggered a transformation in the rest of his family.

by taking care of gregor, grete has become stronger and more confident. she has found a life outside of the house, and has become more independent and self-sufficient. the novel implies that the trigger for the change is gregor's own transformation, and that without it, grete was likely to remain as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the book.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
