Question

Which message did Poe present through his descriptions of the ebony clock?

A. Time is passing and cannot be ignored.

B. Time is fleeting, so enjoy life while you can.

C. Most people obsess over the passage of time.

D. Phases of life are dictated by the passage of time.

Answer 1

I'm not 100% positive, but I think the answer is Choice A.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the passage, we see that Poe is trying to convey the fact that time is short and precious. He also alludes to the fact that time is going to keep passing and that it can't be stopped.

So my guess is Choice A.
