Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the meaning of "thee" in the poem, we analyze the options. "Thee" is an archaic form of "you" (object form). Option B is "You", which matches the meaning of "thee" in the poem's context (likely addressing the reader or a subject as "you"). Options A (Them), C (Us), D (His) don't align with "thee"'s meaning.

A simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two things. Option C: "When tomorrow hangs on thee like a tear" uses "like" to compare "tomorrow" to "a tear", so it contains a simile. Option A is a metaphor (Hope as a flame), B has personification (night whispering), D has personification (dawn painting).

Answer:

B. You
