Do not go gentle into that good night,
old age should burn and rave at close of day;
rage, rage against the dying of the light.

which statement best describes the main idea of the excerpt?

no matter what, eventually all people must die.
no matter what, all people will experience an afterlife.
instead of fearing death, people should embrace it.
instead of giving in to death, people should fight against it.

D) Instead of giving in to death, people should fight against it.

Explanation: In the given excerpt we can see that the speaker is encouraging people to don't giving in to death ("Do not go gentle into that good night"), instead the speaker claims that people should fight really hard against death ("Old age should burn and rave at close of day;  Rage, rage against the dying of the light"), so the statement that best describes the main idea of the excerpt is the corresponding to option D.

hm, switch the relative; nominative and indefinite; objective ? not too bright in the knowledge of the english.
