Question: 519
2. Which best describes the author's attitude toward death?
- A. Children are not afraid of death.
- B. Death is not to be feared.
- C. The death of a child is a terrible thing.
- D. A sudden death is better than a long and lingering one.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B is correct. By comparing death to a "fond mother" (line 1) leading her child to sleep, the author paints a soft image of death as a gentle rest (line 11), not something to be feared.
