what could the connotation of oblivious grave imply in the selection?
she is not dead.

she is not conscious of things on earth.
all of these

Explanation:

Question 11

To determine the meaning of "oblivious", we analyze the options. "Between" is incorrect. "Buried" and "hidden" relate to physical concealment, but "oblivious" means unaware or not knowing. So "not known" (in the sense of not being aware/knowing) fits.

For "oblivious grave", the connotation implies a state where she (the subject) is not conscious of earthly things. "She is not dead" is not implied by "oblivious grave". "Her grave is hidden" misinterprets "oblivious" (it's about awareness, not the grave's location). So the correct implication is she's not conscious of earthly things.

Answer:

B. not known
