Question

Read "Sonnet 73" by William Shakespeare:

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourished by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more
strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
Which excerpt best develops the theme that it is important to be surrounded by people you love when you get older?
A. To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
B. Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, / Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
C. In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
D. Which by and by black night doth take away, / Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.

Answer 1

A. to love that well which thou must leave ere long.

Answer 2

Answer: A. To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

Step-by-step explanation: In this sonnet Shakespeare expresses how the love is more intense as we realize the state of temporary life, and the phrase "To love that well which thou must leave ere long" means that we must love the people we may leave soon, that's why it suggests that it's important to be surrounded by people you love when we get older.
