Question

It is the same!—For, be it joy or sorrow,

The path of its departure still is free:
Man’s yesterday may ne’er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability.

Which of Bruno’s lines best extends the message expressed in the final stanza?

We die.—And in death, at last, achieve everlasting peace.
We live.—Knowing that today’s sun may give way to tomorrow’s rain.
We endure.—Man’s soul is like the bedrock, eternal and unchanged.
We thrive.—Realizing that life provides the fertile soil for us to blossom in.

Answer 1

We live.—Knowing that today’s sun may give way to tomorrow’s rain.

The passage talks about how things are always changing. The only thing that is the same is the fact that things change. We see this in the last line of the passage when it says "Nought may endure but Mutability." Mutability is the tendency to change. It's saying that nothing endures (or lasts) like the tendency to change. The correct answer should continue this idea. Option B talks about how we know things will change from one day to the next with one day being sunny and the next rainy.

Answer 2

We live.—Knowing that today’s sun may give way to tomorrow’s rain.

Step-by-step explanation:

In these stanza Bruno describes how the only thing that endures is the mutability of the human being, he describes how emotions are ever changing and so does the human being, we live for change, watching, promoting and expecting how everything change with every action.
