The correct answer is A. Brightly expressive

Explanation:

The poem "A Valentine" by Edgar Allan Poem is a lyrical poem in which the author recognized his love and admiration for a woman and describes her. In the case of the first verse "For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes" in this the author describes the eyes of the woman as "luminous" and after this in the second verse the author adds "Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda" this verse also refers to the eyes of the woman and therefore defines the "luminous eyes" of verse 1 mainly by stating the eyes are "brightly expressive" and comparing them to the "twins of Leda", while in other verses the author refers to other qualities and ideas related to the woman. This means the best definition for luminous eyes is "brightly expressive" which is provided in verse 2.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
