Question: 263
4. Which of the following best expresses the theme of this poem?
- A. the power of the sun
- B. the passage of time
- C. the fluctuation of the tide
- D. nature's renewal
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B is correct. The theme of the poem is the main idea the poem conveys. In this case, the theme is the passage of time. The poem mentions both the sun (choice A) and the tide (choice C), but each shows only that time has passed. The poem is not about renewal (choice D), but rather about the changes brought about by the passage of time.
