C) Life is better when you are young.
D) People often lie to get what they want.

The correct answer is option D) People often lie to get what they want.

Explanation:

The poem to which this question refers is "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love".

If we analyze this poem, it only speaks of perfect, almost unreal promises. They are used to try to convince someone to live with whom it is relating the poem.

Even when it says:

"And if these pleasures may thee move,

Come live with me, and be my love. "

It seems that it even clarifies it, that he only says these words to move the person he is trying to convince.

That is why the correct answer is option D.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
