Which message did poe present through his descriptions of the ebony clock? a. time is passing and cannot be ignored. b. time is fleeting, so enjoy life while you can. c. most people obsess over the passage of time. d. phases of life are dictated by the passage of time.

I'm not 100% positive, but I think the answer is Choice A.

Explanation:

In the passage, we see that Poe is trying to convey the fact that time is short and precious. He also alludes to the fact that time is going to keep passing and that it can't be stopped.

So my guess is Choice A.

the correct answer is d. a discussion of specific uses of alliteration

.

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.
