Answer 2

According to "The Lamb" by William Blake, the child and the lamb are alike because C. both are meek and mild.

In the poem, the child and the lamb are similar because they are both meek and mild. The word "meek" means, in this case, being gentle and quiet but also submissive, while the word "mild" is used to describe something or someone that is humble and gentle in feeling. Furthermore, in Blake's poem, the child and the lamb also symbolize Jesus Christ; therefore, they represent innocence too.
