Answer 1

A) Psalm suggests that the passage of time cannot defeat the soul, while Auspex indicates that it can.

Step-by-step explanation:

"A Psalm of Life" was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow while "Auspex" was written by James Russell Lowell.

According to "A Psalm of Life", time can't end a person's soul. No matter what time brings, the soul will always remain the same. Whereas, "Auspex" is in support of the death of a soul in time. The speaker of Auspex equates a man's soul with that of a bird that is gone after a period of time. Nothing lasts forever and things eventually come to an end. but, the speaker of "Psalm' suggests the idea of life even after one's death. And that there is always something to look forward to, no matter how much time had gone.
