Which of the following lines from "In Flanders Fields" supports the theme - the living carry on what the dead cannot.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row,

The larks, still bravely singing, fly / Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: / To you from failing hands we throw The torch; We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe: / To you from failing hands we throw The torch; We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

    These lines instruct the audience to "take up our quarrel" to continue fighting. The line also talks about a torch. Symbolically when a torch is passed from one person to another, the person receiving the torch must continue with the work of the one passing the torch. Therefore, the dead are passing the torch to the living and telling them to continue on.
