Question

• A. The narrator is educated in geography
• B. The narrator is reading a newspaper
• C. The poem could be occurring in any of these cities
• D. The poem is an extended analogy
• E. The cities are symbols of oppressed people

Answer 1

The correct option is D The poem is an extended analogy

The correct answer for this question is option D, i.e., the poem is an extended analogy. This poem talks about the struggles put in for hard work and the rewards sown thereafter. The cities in lines 2-5 can be anywhere in the world. People all over the world are working hard and hoping for a better life, and a brighter future, being close to god, etc. The statements in options A,B,C and E are incoherent with the text, and thus, are incorrect.
