Which statement best reflects the shared theme of "We Grow Accustomed to the Dark" and "Sonnet 73"? A)Awareness of uncertainty and mortality serve to make our lives more significant.

B)Twilight, sunset, and darkness affect our understanding of human nature.

C) The seasons of the year and the length of the days can influence our emotions.

D)Valuable and difficult lessons can be learned from our life experiences.

The statement that best reflects the shared theme of both poems is:

A) Awareness of uncertainty and mortality serve to make our lives more significant.

Explanation:

Both poems use natural phenomena as a metaphor for life, difficulties, and death. In Dickinson's "We Grow Accustomed to the Dark", the speaker is talking of facing difficulties in life - the dark. When darkness comes, it confuses us for a moment, scares us into believing we won't be able to do a single thing. However, our eyes get used to it and, if we are brave, we'll move forward even when we cannot see well. In other words, no matter the hardship, life goes on. Even if it hurts, we eventually get over it or, at least, learn to accept it. We must have the courage to keep on going even when the future is not clear.

In Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73", the speaker uses seasons and the image of twilight to describe old age. Darkness, in this case, is death. According to the speaker, understanding your own and other people's mortality helps you appreciate life more. If you know someone will eventually be gone, you will be grateful for having them in your life now.

Having those summaries in mind, we can clearly conclude that the poems share the theme that uncertainty and mortality serve to make our lives more significant (letter A).
