Read the excerpt to answer the question.
“We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then.

“Eldorado
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old—
This knight so bold—
And o’er his heart a shadow—
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow—
‘Shadow,’ said he,
‘Where can it be—
This land of Eldorado?’
‘Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,’
The shade replied,—
‘If you seek for Eldorado!”
― Edgar Allen Poe, The Complete Stories and Poems
What is the most likely symbolism of Eldorado in the poem?

The concept of World Englishes highlights the diversification of English into different and locally grounded varieties. Rather than
being seen as mere deviations from a single “standard,” forms such as Indian English or Nigerian English show how English adapts to
sociolinguistic contexts shaped by multilingualism and postcolonial histories. These localized varieties differ in vocabulary,
pronunciation, pragmatics, and even grammar, yet remain systematic and rule-governed. Recognizing this reality questions the idea of
a single, uniform English and reframes the language as having multiple centers of influence. For teaching, this means that instead of
promoting only one model, English education should engage critically with linguistic diversity and with the social and cultural values
attached to different varieties.

How Scammers Exploit Variations of Your Logins
The first you know about it is when a scammer accesses one of your accounts. You've been careful with your details, but you've made a
mistake: recycling part of your password. Reusing the same word, even if altered with numbers or symbols, gives criminals an open
door.
An ethical “white hat” hacker named Brandyn Murtagh says information obtained through data breaches on sites such as DropBox and
Tumblr and through cyber-attacks has been circulating on the internet for some time. Using this info, criminals try to log into other
websites using the exact hacked passwords—a practice called credential stuffing. But in some cases they do not just try the exact
passwords from the hacked data: as well as credential stuffing, the fraudsters also attempt to access accounts with derivations of the
hacked password. For example, if your password was “Guardian,” they might automatically try “Guardian1” or “Guardian!”.
According to Virgin Media O2, four out of five people use the same or similar passwords, making this a major vulnerability.
What the scam looks like. The criminals use scripts – automated sets of instructions for the computer – to go through variations of the
passwords in an attempt to access other accounts. This can happen on an industrial scale, says Murtagh. “It's very rare that you are
targeted as an individual – you are [usually] in a group of thousands of people that are getting targeted. These processes scale just like
they would in business,” he says. You might be alerted by messages saying that you have been trying to change your email address or
other details connected to an account.
To protect yourself, Murtagh recommends three key steps:
1. Change variations: Immediately change any passwords that use the same root word, starting with your most important
accounts: banking, email, work, and mobile.
2. Use password managers: These tools, often built into web browsers, can suggest and save complex, unique passwords.
3. Enable 2FA/MFA: Two- or multi-factor authentication adds a second login step, making it much harder for a scammer to get
in.
