Whether there will be a greater harmony or conflict between nations in future?

There will be a greater conflict between nations in the future b/c people just wont get along and the way the world is evolving now, not everyone has the same ideas about how we should go forward

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.

- i.a -

the answer is definitely d. sorry for a late response.
