Answer 2

Answer:

Main idea of the Poem is "Life is short: Laugh and be Merry"

Option C

Explanation:

The line is Laugh and is Merry is composed by John Masefield. Here, the poet said our life is short so we main smile in our life which makes our life beautiful. The idea of the poem is a laugh and be merry. The poet repeats the word laugh three times throughout the poem.

Repetition is often a good indicator of the theme or the main idea. The poet does mention pride in a human and fighting but these are not the main idea. Even though a song is mentioned, the song the poet is referring to is the song of laughter.
