The correct answers are:


1) b. “The child will never experience the hardships of life”


The author states that, in order to relieve pain and suffering, his son is envied as he escaped from the oppression and adversity of living on the earth. Ben Jonson´ son should return to God as He has just “lent” his beloved son for a while to his father.


2) c. “love as an immortal force”


In the poem the author addresses her beloved as he wanted her to express her love to him. As he is so deep in love, he does not want just to drink but he just wants to ask this woman look at him in the same way he does. In addition,

he poet had sent Celia a “rosy wreath” as a symbol of love, in the hope to show and ask her love forever.


3) b. “reverential”


Jonson borrowed the conventions of courtly love. He is fascinated by his beloved's beauty, which lead him to idealize Celia and its love.


4) a. “Wherever there is a chance for a fabulous meal”


It is an adverbial clause is a group of words that function as an adverb. An adverb modifies verbs and adjective or other adverb in a sentence, and it provides further information about how, how often, when, or where something was done. This particular independent clause is introduced by the adverb “Wherever”.
