A. Both poems focus on how Icarus's death is ignored.

Explanation:

Wystan Hugh Auden wrote his poem "Musée des Beaux Arts" detailing about the fall of Icarus from the sun. He gave a description of how people are indifferent about the suffering of others. The poem shows how Icarus' drowning was taken by the people who had witnessed it.

Likewise, William Carlos Williams's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is also similar to Auden's poetry as he also dealt with the fall of Icarus. he also gave a description about the moment Icarus fell from the sky and how the "splash (was) quite unnoticed".

Both poems draw their basis from the painting "The Fall of Icarus" by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. And their similarity lie in the fact that both poems focus on how Icarus's death was ignored.

the author is showing that it is the insatisfaction of basic needs that brings about the protests such as the strikes.if workers do not earn enough to buy food and feed their families and themselves in order to continue working, what is the use of working? besides, another message from the author is that of the owners of factories should be worried about ensuring their furure by having a second and third generation of workers in their industries.if they do not hear the workers demands, they will not have any more workers to make their pockets full.
