Identify the bolded words in the following passage and answer the questions that follow. "Thus spoke the Self-existent Sire: / Then swiftly from the blazing pyre / The circling flames were backward rolled, / And, rising in his gentle hold / Alive unharmed the Maithil dame, / The Lord of Fire embodied came. / Fair as the morning was her sheen, And gold and gems adorned the queen. / Her form in crimson robes arrayed, / Her hair was bound in glossy braid."

Answer:

B: The fire is purifying //// C: She is compared through visual imagery, such as color.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the question is "What is the function of the fire in this passage?" Then the answer is B: The fire is purifying. This Quiz has multiple questions with the same paragraph. The second question i found was "How is Sita compared to the fire?" I think the answer to this question is C: She is compared through visual imagery, such as color. Thanks, Have a good day.
