It reinforces the idea that all people, not just the speaker's father, should fight against death.

"Rage, Rage against the dying of the light" and "Do not go gentle into that good night" this repetition of lines show to the speaker's that everyone should fight death. He explains how all different types of men fight death.

The correct option is A) It reinforces the idea that all people, not just the speaker's father, should fight against death.

The speaker demonstrates that we all should fight against death for example when he says "rage against the dying of the light". He means that people are not supposed to go gentle into death. In the stanzas shown the speaker is trying to explain who the different types of men fight differently against death.

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4
