I will give BRAINLEST!! pls help Read the lines from "Mr. Flood's Party."

"Well, Mr. Flood, we have the harvest moon
Again, and we may not have many more;
The bird is on the wing, the poet says,
And you and I have said it here before.
Drink to the bird."

How does the word choice in these lines affect the meaning of the poem?
(I'm stuck on either B. or D.)

A. It suggests that Mr. Flood has a great admiration for nature.

B. It emphasizes that Flood feels he doesn't have many more years left to live.

C. It suggests that Flood has a pet bird as his companion.

D. It reveals that Mr. Flood has a drinking problem.

The Answer is D

(I get why you were stuck on either B or D)

1.creeping like a snail is a simile used in this poem and it means the child is going to school unwillingly./a child is unwilling to go to school.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !
