What events are rerffered to in the first four stanzas of the rivers merchants wife

i believe the answer is d : )

peace, morning, sun glooming, sorrow, woe pardon’d, punished, more hence, talk, story. all of these three words have to do something with a depressed, regretful tone. woe is another word for misery, heartache, so all of these words are about unhappy feelings.

dependent clause!

example: "before the food gets cold"
