Read the poem given below and answer the questions that follow (Q. Nos. 115 to 120) by selecting the correct/most appropriate option.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
  Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
  Tomorrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
  The higher he’s a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
  And nearer he’s to setting.

That age is best which is the first,
  When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
  Times still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time,
  And while ye may, go marry;
For having lost but once your prime,
  You may forever tarry.

Which of the following statements is true/false ?
A. Gathering rosebuds is the same as enjoying one’s life.
B. The sun can’t keep on shining forever.
Choose the correct option :

The correct option is Both A and B are true.

Step-by-step breakdown and analysis:

1. Analysis of Statement A: "Gathering rosebuds is the same as enjoying one’s life."
In Robert Herrick's famous poem "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time", the opening line "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may" is a classic metaphor for the Latin phrase carpe diem (seize the day). It encourages people to make the most of their youth and opportunity, to live fully, and to enjoy life before time passes by. Therefore, Statement A is true.

2. Analysis of Statement B: "The sun can’t keep on shining forever."
The second stanza describes the sun moving through the sky:
"The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, / The higher he’s a-getting, / The sooner will his race be run, / And nearer he’s to setting."
This imagery emphasizes that daylight is fleeting and limited—the sun sets after reaching its peak, symbolizing that beauty, light, and life inevitably come to an end. Thus, the sun cannot keep on shining forever, making Statement B true.

Conclusion:
Since both Statement A and Statement B accurately reflect the meaning and themes of the poem, the correct choice is Both A and B are true.
