• B. Paired alliteration
• C. melancholic preaching
• D. Antipathetic musing

Answer 1

The correct option is B Paired alliteration

Option B is the correct answer as alliteration is a literal figure in English where two words inline or phrases have the same consonant sound to emphasize the meaning of what a poet wants to say.

In the first stanza also the consonant sounds are same like rain to twain, heart to depart, root to fruit, etc

So in the given first stanza of the poem poet wants to explain the victory and power of time. Poet is explaining that with time everything changes my heart will not be with the same love, even seasons change with time. Though heart remains with the same pain but yet to believe in time, again will change.
