Answer:

The option that BEST analyzes the poet's use of time is "The imagery of the sun is used to create a sense of long-lasting love."

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the poem to analyze. Here is the poem:

Excerpt from Brown Eyes

George Furman

Brown Eyes, I've lost my heart to you.

I can't forget . . . I can't forget.

You may be faithless, but I'll be true.

I'll love you til the sun has set.

Oh, Brown Eyes, sweet as the soft twilight

That lingers from pole to pole.

And I will love you til the sun grows cold

And the stars have turned to gold.

The poem "Brown Eyes " by George Furman presents the idea of an undying love through the comparison made with the sun, as the lines "til the sun has set" and " til the sun grows cold " talk about situations that will take millions of year to happen more than what any human would live, then his love will be larger than any human's life.
