Question

The sea and 'other creation' leads Rilke to:

• A. Define the place of the poet in his culture.
• B. Reflect on the role of the oarsman and the singer.
• C. Muse on artistic labor and its aimlessness.
• D. Delve into natural experience and real waves.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Define the place of the poet in his culture.

Option: (a)

If we look at the 2^nd last line in the last paragraph - "but suddenly I understood the situation of the poet, his place and function in this age", answer option (a) clearly stands out as the right answer choice as the above statement makes it quite clear that the author is talking about the place of the poet in his culture.
