Explanation:

Question 10

In the Song of Songs, imagery like "a lily among thorns" and "eyes like doves" is used in the context of romantic compliments between the lovers (the man and the woman in the poetic dialogue). The other options (explaining marriage purpose, warning about adultery, emphasizing marriage problems) don't align with the romantic, complimentary nature of these phrases.

Psalms of thankfulness focus on gratitude for God’s past actions. Such gratitude and remembrance of God’s goodness should lead people to feel joy, not take grace for granted, rebel, or reflect in somberness. "Feel joy" matches the tone of thankfulness and the theological context of responding to God’s acts with positive emotion.

Answer:

B. a man complimenting a woman he loves
