    The correct answer is A. The motif used in these lines is that of heat and coldness.

    A motif is an idea or concept that establishes a theme or mood. In these lines, the motif of fire and frost is used to discuss the contrasting ideas of ardor (passion) and reason.

    Passion is often described as hot (the burning fires of passion), and reason is often compared to ice (someone who is cold and calculating).
