Tara Vance · Answer 1

B) relax and enjoy what he or she has

Explanation:

Remember that poetry uses figurative language to fulfill it's purposes. That means it uses figures of speech, ways of playing with the meanings of words, to give the poems the depth and beauty they want. In this case, the author uses the word fest not to describe a literal elaborate meal, the poet wants to focus on the enjoyment of a thing. The word sit, makes allusion to relaxation, it's necessary for you to take your time and be calmed. Once calmed, see all the things you have and enjoy them as you would enjoy an elaborate and fancy meal.

Anabel · Answer 2

B) relax and enjoy what he or she has

The poet is not actually telling the person to eat his life. A feast is usually a time for consuming good food in celebration. Using feast in this command still keeps the celebratory connotation. In this case, it means to celebrate or enjoy his or her life. Other options are incorrect because there are no negative connotations about memories, the poet is not talking about eating, and the pronoun "your" indicates that this isn't about friends.
