• B. Religious inscriptions are placed around the graves
• C. She writes many letters to her friends
• D. Books are placed in the library for study

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Religious inscriptions are placed around the graves

• The word "strews" (meaning "scatters" or "spreads") implies that these holy texts are found throughout the churchyard, possibly carved into gravestones or placed in memorials.

• These inscriptions serve to offer comfort and remind the living of moral and spiritual lessons, reinforcing the poem's theme of mortality and divine reflection.
