Read the following excerpts:

Ozymandias
by Percy Bysshe Shelley (excerpt)

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Ode on a Grecian Urn
by John Keats (excerpt)

When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou sayst,
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,"–that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

Which of these subjects do both excerpts address?

war
power
time
love

Answer: C) Time.

Step-by-step explanation: In the given excerpts from "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley and "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats, we can see that they address the subject of time. In the first excerpt, we can see the subject of time with the perspective that it causes destruction and death "Nothing beside remains. Round the decay." In the second excerpt the author expresses the remain of beauty through time.
