Read the following poem carefully before choosing the best answer.
(1) The ribbed glass arches, fractured by the frost,
(2) Admit a pale and fractured winter light,
(3) Where once the orange-blossom cloyed the air.
(4) Now, only dry clay pots in fragments lie,
(5) And underfoot, the grit of gravel grates
(6) With every step, a sharp and hollow rasp.
(7) A sudden gust sweeps through the rusted frame:
(8) The scent of rotting loam and frozen pine
(9) Replaces all that sweet, remembered heat,
(10) As iron girders shiver in the cold.
In the poem, the shift from the sweet, cloying memory of "orange-blossom" (line 3) to the "sharp and hollow rasp" of gravel underfoot (line 6) primarily functions to mirror a shift in tone from which of the following?
- wistful recollection of a vibrant past to a stark confrontation with physical ruinCevap
- Bphysical movement from an indoor tropical exhibit to an outdoor pathway
- Cthe poet's biographical transition from a southern climate to a northern environment
- Dunyielding despair that remains uniform from the poem’s opening to its close
- Ea simple decrease in physical temperature inside the greenhouse as night falls
Cevap
wistful recollection of a vibrant past to a stark confrontation with physical ruin
The correct answer is the option that identifies the transition from a wistful recollection of a vibrant past to a stark confrontation with physical ruin. The sensory details in line 3 ('orange-blossom cloyed') evoke a fragrant, warm, and highly fertile memory, representing a wistful recollection. In contrast, the auditory and tactile details in lines 5-6 ('gravel grates', 'sharp and hollow rasp') confront the reader with the dry, broken, and cold reality of the present ruin. This transition mirrors the speaker's movement from nostalgia to grim acceptance of decay.
