D.The strict rhyme scheme and rhythm of iambic pentameter create a confident tone.

All of Shakespeare's sonnets have a specific rhyme scheme and are written in iambic pentameter. In this specific sonnet, Shakespeare is telling about the subject of his poem, a deceased friend, will live in immortality because of the sonnet. It is a type of literary immortality. By writing about his friend, Shakespeare allows his memory to live forever in the poem. He will be remembered and live on in the reader's minds every time someone reads the poem.  This poem is not written in a festive mood, because he is not celebrating the death of his friend. He is also very confident in his feelings so options B and C are also wrong.

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.
