Answer 2

d- When he dies, he will no longer be able to hear the song of the nightingale.

Step-by-step explanation:

He envisions what might occur after the snapshot of his demise. Essentially, the feathered creature would continue singing as though nothing had occurred.

The speaker would at present have "ears," obviously: or if nothing else. his cadaver would. Be that as it may, the ears would be pointless in light of the fact that there is no cerebrum to process the sounds.

The feathered creature would be then singing a requiem a sort of chapel gathering with music sung for a dead individual.
