How do the allusions, or references, made to Pallas (Athena) and Pluto (Hades) inform the character of
the raven?
A These allusions make the raven seem
otherworldly and informs his symbolic nature as
a possible messenger from the afterlife.
B These allusions imply that the raven is far more
powerful than it at first seems and it is there to
cast judgement on the speaker.
C These allusions contribute to the raven's
characterization as the speaker's punishment, as
classical gods were often seen as cruel and
petty.
D These allusions remind the reader that the
speaker is mentally unbalanced and mistaking a
raven for a god.

the answer is b) ''i hereby express my profound remorse together with my sincere mourning ''.

the reason being that although all of the options provided are valid the main idea of the speech by prime minister junichiro koizumi is to express his and japan's current antiwar pledge.

he states that 59 years had passed since the war, he acknowledges the 3 million japanese that lost their lives during the war and those countries who were affected by their decisions, as well as the way japan intends to develop relationships across the globe however all of this can be summarize to how japan as a whole regrets the war and its consecuences.
