Which line(s) from the poem, “an ancient gesture,” most create(s) a tone of remorse and regret?

1 i thought, as i wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron:
2 penelope did this too.
3 and more than once: you can't keep weaving all day
4 and undoing it all through the night;
5 your arms get tired, and the back of your neck gets tight;
6 and along towards morning, when you think it will never be light,
7 and your husband has been gone, and you don't know where, for years.
8 suddenly you burst into tears;
9 there is simply nothing else to do.

10 and i thought, as i wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron:
11 this is an ancient gesture, authentic, antique,
12 in the very best tradition, classic, greek;
13 ulysses did this too.
14 but only as a gesture,—a gesture which implied
15 to the assembled throng that he was much too moved to speak.
16 he learned it from
17 penelope, who really cried.

a. lines 2-3 because the speaker expresses many sorrows for repeating mistakes made in the past
b. lines 3-4 because the speaker acknowledges the absurdity of not applying lessons learned from the past
c. line 7 because the speaker’s longing to change the past causes excessive mourning
d. lines 8-9because the speaker’s lack of repentance from making mistakes leads to meaningless excuses
