Answer:

A. to describe the character’s conflict with the setting

Explanation:

In this excerpt from Heart of Darkness, the narrator puts the accent on the surroundings, and how unpleasant it is. It gives the feeling of being lost in the prehuman era when nature and wilderness dominated, but in a negative sense. The feeling was even more intensive since the narrator traveled alone, and being alone in a, from a traveler`s point of view, hostile environment with wild animals like alligators, warm air that seems like it is unbreathable and awareness like you are in some enchanted trap where there is no way out, made the narrator feel a little bit anxious, though a man in greatness and infinity of nature is just a grain of sand, and that is even scarier.

Answer:

Juliet: “My bounty is as boundless as the sea.”

Explanation:

Visual motif is a visual pattern, which in the context of Romeo & Juliet, means the use of descriptive language focusing on the sense of sight. All the options except for Juliet's dialogue, focuses on this, with Mercutio's "Blind is ....", Romeo's "What light through younder ...", and Friar Laurence's "The grey-eyed morn smiles ...".

Juliet's part, instead is a form of simile, describing how her bounty is like the boundless sea - but it does not look like one.
