What <span>clause is italicized?</span>
If the choices for the question are <span>carpe diem, <span>marriage, virtue, religion,</span></span> the correct answer would be"carpe diem." The theme that replaced the more traditional memento mori theme in metaphysical poetry is carpe diem. Carpe Diem means Seize the Day. In other words, you need to do whatever it takes just to take the opportunity.
The answer is true because if you have experience you can look back on the day it happened.
