Question

The promises referred to in the poem are _________.

• A. pledges to share one another's innermost secrets
• B. articles of incorporation
• C. items in a prenuptial agreement
• D. resolution never to see one another again
• E. marriage vows

Answer 1

The correct option is E marriage vows

Option E, marriage vows, is the most appropriate answer. The poem refers to promises of love that the poet and the addressee may have for each other, or for other people in the past. They are aware of the efforts that go into fulfilling promises and the hardships that come with marriage. The statements of options A,B,C and D do not convey the same sentiments as that of the poem. Hence, they are wrong in this context.
