Review the poem "Because I could not stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson to answer the following question.

Because I could not stop for Death
By Emily Dickinson

Because I could not stop for Death—
He kindly stopped for me—
The Carriage held but just Ourselves—
And Immortality.

We slowly drove—He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility—

We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess—in the Ring—
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain—
We passed the Setting Sun—

Or rather—He passed Us—
The Dews drew quivering and Chill—
For only Gossamer, my Gown—
My Tippet—only Tulle—

We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground—
The Roof was scarcely visible—
The Cornice—in the Ground—

Since then—'tis Centuries—and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity—

In the poem "Because I could not stop for Death" Dickinson unveils several layers of meaning. Which of the following is not one of those layers?

Death does not need to hurry, as it is an automatic fact of life.
Death waits for no person—its arrival is inevitable.
The transition to death can be a peaceful one if a person is certain of what will happen to them in the afterlife.
You should fight death until the end, so you can stay alive longer than Death wants you to.
