In the following passage from “Conversation with Geoffrey Ashe”, how mainly does Ashe develop the understanding that King Arthur’s legend has remained popular over time?

[...] Arthur isn’t purely a medieval character. He keeps fading out and coming back, and he has been pictured differently in different periods. I think there is a constant factor that has a great deal to do with his vitality. One way or another, his legend embodies the dream of a golden age which is found in many societies and mythologies. It’s a haunting, persistent dream. Even modern novelists, well aware that there never was a real golden age, have pictured Arthur’s reign as a time when people of vision and courage were on top for a while, surviving against the odds, and going down gloriously. It’s something we would like to believe in.
A. By pointing out that popularity rises and falls over time
B. By comparing King Arthur to a ghost who has haunted readers for centuries
C. By connecting the “golden age” represented in the legend of King Arthur to a common ideal among cultures
D. By arguing that the story of King Arthur is timeless

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
