The example of the sun is given to :

  • A.describe the glory of his light.
  • B.describe the fast passage of time.
  • C.show his warmth.
  • D.warn of his setting.

Answer: B

The example of the sun is given to describe the fast passage of time.

The stanza says that the higher the sun gets, the sooner its race will be run, and the nearer it is to setting. The poet uses the sun's quick climb and fall to show that time flies and that youth, too, soon moves toward its end.

The sun is called glorious, yet the lines are not praising his light or warmth. They do mention setting, but as part of the picture of time passing, not as a warning of the sun's own setting.
