Are these the lines you were referring to?
<span>1)Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore
2)This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core
3)But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore
4)Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor
5)Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!"
The answer would then be 3 and 5.
The lines of choice 3 is referring to the velvet violet lining of the cushion where Lenore used to sit. He remembers that Lenore will no longer sit on that cushion again.
The lines of choice 5 on the other hand refers to the part where he was having delusions. The imaginary smell he supposed was nepenthe, which in mythology was a drink or a potion that helps one forget. He claimed it must be a scent sent by God to help him forget Lenore.

In 'The Birthmark, Hawthorne develops the theme that the quest for perfection is destined to fail.
The details from the story that contribute to the development of this theme are:
- <u>A. "Do not repent that with so high and pure a feeling, you have rejected the best the earth could offer. Aylmer, dearest Aylmer, I am dying!"
</u>
- <u>B. "Perhaps its removal may cause cureless deformity, or it may be the stain goes as deep as life itself.''</u>
According to the complete question, we can see that there is a quest for perfection by some characters in the book who want to be the best and not to make mistakes or wrong decisions.
As a result of this, Hawthorne shows that people like this are always destined to fail because there are no perfect people. This is evident as the speaker says that she rejected the best the world has to offer and it has caused a "cureless deformity".
Therefore,the correct answers are options A and B

The correct answer is C. As it is known, Kafka did not have a good relationship with his father, as he was abusive with him. Kafka’s father was also a narcissistic man and he did not care about his son and this can be proved in “Letter to His Father”. “The Metamorphosis” can be perceived as a sample of the solace that Kafka did in order to expel his demons against his father and so is “Letter to His Father”. After Gregor becomes a bug, he can not longer communicate with his father and this a representation of what Kafka felt inside him with his own father since his father intransigent with him.
Option A is not correct as the confusion of Gregor Samsa does not have anything to do with the fact that he converted into a bug, so it would not make sense since it does not have a direct connection with Kafka’s relationship with his father.
Option B is not correct as the pain that Gregor feels inside of him is not the consequence of the bad relationship that Kafka had with this father. The fact that he is unable to go off the bed in order to continue with his life is something that is not connected with the fact that Kafka and his father did not have a good father and son relationship.
Option D is not correct since Gregor knows perfectly why his sister did not want to go inside his room with their parents as she has become a different person since Gregor converted into a bug. She does not want to see him because he is now a disgusting and bizarre creature; he is not her brother anymore. Although Gregor was a good brother with her, and supported her with her studies, it seems she has forgotten about that. Nonetheless, the relationship between Gregor and her sister does not represent any aspect in “Letter to His Father”.
