The correct answer is A. "Fadeth" and "ruin'd."

Fadeth is just the old English way to write <em>fade, </em>and the verb <em>to fade </em>has a slightly negative connotation. If something fades, it disappears and you no longer have it. Similarly, ruin'd (which obviously stands for <em>ruined</em>), has a clearly negative connotation - meaning that something is destroyed.

So these two words give off the impression of a tone which is bad, sad, or gloomy, and therefore is the correct answer here.

Which line from William Blake's "The Tyger" contains the clearest example of symbolism?
EleoNora [17]
I believe the best answer to your question would be A. In the forests of the night. Obviously there is no such thing as a 'night forest' but this is symbolizing darkness, nighttime or even perhaps the dreamworld when you fall asleep. There are numerous possibilities for what this could be symbolizing.
