Answer:

A.He feels inadequate for the task.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A.He feels inadequate for the task.

B.He is eager to condemn Hester for her crime.

C.He is fearful of Hester’s response.

D.He desires to help Hester confess her sin.

In this text, we learn that Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale is introduced to the crowd as an expert on the matter at hand. He is being asked by Mr. Wilson and the Governor to speak about matters of the heart, and in particular, those of women. We learn that this task is of a "trying nature," which implies that Mr. Dimmesdale finds it really difficult. Moreover, we also learn that this situation leads him to lose colour on his cheeks and make his lips tremulous. These are all signs of nervousness, so we can assume that Mr. Dimmesdale feels that he is inadequate to the task.

Write a minimum 150-word response in which you explain the poet's use of extended metaphor in "Cloud." Be sure to cite examples
Allisa [31]

The poem "The Cloud" by Percy Bysshe Shelley employs an extended metaphor, as it compares a cloud to life throughout the whole poem.

The cloud is meant to stand for the cycle of nature, or the unending cycle of life. Through the many cycles and transformations that the cloud endures, Shelley wants to represent the never ending cycle of birth, death and rebirth that all beings on Earth go through. The poem, therefore, focuses on the mutability of nature as the only constant in the physical world. Moreover, this allows the author to also employ the cloud as a symbol of the many changes that humans undergo throughout their lives.
