answer:

which of the following is a symbol of adventure in "Adieu, Adieu! My Native Shore"?

the sea

the shore <---MOST LIKELY THIS ONE

the speaker’s dog

the speaker’s home

im not sure which one is the answer, its either of the two in bold read the explanation please because i think i know the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

i think its one of these two because the passage says

"One kind of figurative language is symbolism. A symbol is just something that stands for something else. Two of the main symbols in this poem are the sea and the shore."

but the text also says

"In Byron's poem, since the speaker is leaving the shore and leaving home, the reader can rightly infer that the shore represents his home and his past life. Indeed, Alfred Lord Tennyson took up this very image as he has his character Ulysses grieve over "rust[ing] unburnish'd" on the shore while "the vessel puffs her sails" before him."

this leads me to believe that the answer is actually the shore but dont take my word for it
