Even though you didn't bold the noun clauses, it is still obvious which ones they are in these sentences.

1. The noun clause is what I saw in the closet. The function that this noun clause performs is subject. Subject of a sentence is what performs a particular action - in this case, the subject (or the entire noun clause) has left the narrator speechless. If it's confusing, you can replace the clause with a simple pronoun it - It left me speechless, and then it's easier to see it is indeed a subject.

2. The noun clause is how to swim. The function that this noun clause performs is direct object. Direct objects answer the questions whom or what - in this case, you can simply ask - What did I learn when I was six? And the answer would be that entire noun clause - how to swim.

3. The noun clauses here are what my conscience was telling me and what I wanted to do. The function that these noun clauses are performing is object of a preposition. Object of a preposition is really easy to spot - it is a word, phrase, or an entire clause which is located right after a preposition. In this example, the word between is a preposition, and the clauses following it are its objects.

4. The noun clause here is what kept me awake all night. The function that this noun clause performs is predicative nominative. A predicative nominative is a noun, a noun phrase, or a noun clause that is found after a linking verb in a sentence. A linking verb connects two parts of a sentence - here, that verb is is and the clause following it is its nominative.

kotykmax [81]

The poem "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" is an elegy in name but not in form. The whole style and theme of the poem is like of that contemporary odes. It also embodies the meditation on death and as well as the remembrance of death. The trees, beetles, flower, pastures are talking about life. These dispel the word "grave" from mentioning it. Sunset, on the other hand, symbolizes the end
Explanation:
The most obvious and important theme of the poem is 'death'.
The poem starts with varied types of imaging that continue until the fourth textual matter wherever grey mentions the graves for the first time.

All the imaging describing the atmosphere and also the setting of the waning day, symbolize the transient nature of life and additional the stanzas emphasize foregone conclusion and duration of death.
So the poem's tone is of gloom and disappointment with the Epitaph of the speaker at the top, adding to the mundane feeling of the poem.

Answer:

C. third-person point of view

Explanation:

First, let's break down what first-person, second-person, and third-person point of views are.

First-person is when the narrator is addressing themselves. It's like when you write in a journal or diary. It uses words like "I" or "me" to talk about themself and what happened to them. For example: "I saw a cat on the road to today. It waved to me."

Second-person is when the narrator is addressing to you. It uses words like "you" to talk to the reader. Usually this is used in speeches or commercials. For example: "You saw a cat on the road today. It waved to you."

Third-person is when the narrator is not one of the characters but is addressing them. It uses words like "he" or "she" to talk about the characters. For example: "He saw a cat on the road to today. It waved at him."

Now that you know all the different kinds of point-of-views, we can answer the question. You have to look at the pronouns(he,she,they, etc) that the author is using. If you look back to the passage, the author uses "her" and "she."

This is definitely not first-person because first-person uses "I."

This isn't second-person because second-person uses "you."

This is third-person because third person uses "she." The answer is third-person point of view.
