Read this passage from "The Rainy Day":

“Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

Thy fate is the common fate of all,

Into each life some rain must fall,

Some days must be dark and dreary.”

The second line is an example of foreshadowing (hinting at what might come next). What effect does this line have on the poem’s mood?


A.The foreshadowing suggests that the sun will be too strong when it comes out, making the poem’s mood more anxious.



B.By foreshadowing sad times to come, the line adds to the poem’s dreary mood.



C.By foreshadowing happier times to come, the line helps lighten the mood and lift the reader's spirit.


D.The foreshadowing suggests that the clouds will remain in the future, making the mood of the poem even more bleak.
