hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.

- i.a -

this is hard!  

the figurative meanings of these lines are questioning the tyger's strength and beauty. the meaning contributes to the overall message of them poem because it is explaining how strong the tyger is.

now just elaborate off of that. : )
