1.The correct
answer here is C. Symbol in literature is used as a metaphor to express a
certain meaning. The word does not express its usual meaning like here, dove is
not a dove but peace. In symbolism words are imbued with much deeper meaning. Symbols
are very dependent on the context in which they appear but there are symbols we
use in everyday life like the rose stands for love.
2. The correct
answer here is D. The pervading theme and the feel of the poem “The Lamb” is innocence
which Blake masterfully conveys through his imagery. This poem belongs to his collection
“Songs of Innocence and Experience”. The poem appears in the “Songs of Innocence”
section. “The Lamb” if often contrasted with the poem “The Tyger” which is its
counterpart in the “Songs of Experience” as both deal with the question of God.
