Read "Sonnet 73" by William Shakespeare:That time of year thou mayst in me beholdWhen yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hangUpon those boughs which shake against the cold,Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.In me thou seest the twilight of such dayAs after sunset fadeth in the west;Which by and by black night doth take away,Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.In me thou see'st the glowing of such fireThat on the ashes of his youth doth lie,As the deathbed whereon it must expireConsumed with that which it was nourished by.    This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more          strong,    To love that well which thou must leave ere long.Which excerpt best develops the theme that it is important to be surrounded by people you love when you get older?A.Which by and by black night doth take away, / Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.B.Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, / Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.C.To love that well which thou must leave ere long.D.In me thou see'st the glowing of such fireSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
