A. The use of the rhyming words "bright" and "light" puts a focus on living rather than dying.
This question is about the poem "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night," by Dylan Thomas, in which the theme of death is discussed.
The speaker is facing the death of his father and the feelings and reflections that come with death.
In the excerpt "Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright / Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, / Rage, rage against the dying of the light," the author uses the rhyme "light" and "bright".
Both words evoke life. Life is associated with light, with brightness, with consciousness.
Death, on the other hand, is associated with darkness, with being unconscious.
Therefore, the use of the words puts a focus on living rather than dying.
The speaker means that death must be confronted, fought against.
