Answer 27

Read these lines from the poem “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” by Thomas Gray:
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

What is the effect of the personification and imagery used in these lines?
They suggest a sense of chaos and destruction.
They suggest an atmosphere of gloom and hopelessness.
They convey feelings of resentment and wrath.
They create an atmosphere of pleasantness and ease.
