When he says "Denmark's a prison", Hamlet is using a metaphor. A metaphor is a word or expression that means something different from their literal meaning. This figurative language is telling us that, like a person who is in prison, Hamlet also feels as if he were trapped and watched the whole time.
Two other sentences that are using figurative language as well, are the following:
"<u>To be or not to be</u>", is a parallel structure, that is, when we are using the same pattern of words, to show that those words or ideas bear the same importance.
"<u>Despised love</u>", is an oxymoron, which is a kind of speech containing words that seem to contradict each other.

Hello. You forgot to show that Part A shows that the summary of the poem is:
"A mother and her family find courage to climb the icy steps to a lighthouse tower and turn on the lantern."
Answer:
E. "She fed the lamp, and she trimmed it well, / And its clear light glowed afar" ( Lines 41-42)
A. And the light-house lamp, a golden star, / Flamed over the waves’ white yeast." ( Lines 7-8)
Explanation:
"The lighthouse lamp" is a poem written by Margaret E. Sangster and tells the story that a mother and daughter were alone inside a lighthouse, very cold, when the light of the lighthouse went out. It was very dangerous to go up the stairs to turn on the light and they were both very afraid to do so, but they knew it was necessary to help the sailors and avoid accidents. As a result, even frozen and frightened, they went up and turned on the light, leaving them proud and at peace.
