GIVEING POINTS Read the sonnet

Part A
Sonnet XII
What can be inferred from Shakespeare's "Sonnet XII"?
o Dying young is a waste of life.
Animals and plants live without fear.
O Everything that lives ages.
O Time passes quickly for youths
by William Shakespeare
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier
er with
white and bris
Then of thy beauty do I question make
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow,
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence
Part B
Which pair of lines from the sonnet best support the answer in
the Part A?
"When I behold the violet past prime,

O
"Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes offtime must go."
"When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd."
"When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night"
