Read the following excerpt from Sonnet XLIII, "What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why" by Edna St. Vincent Millay:
What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning, but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply,
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Which statement best analyzes how the poet's word choice in this excerpt
conveys the tone?
A. The words 'ghosts" and "pain" reveal a deep sense of loss mingled
with the sense of detachment.
O B. The words "kissed" and "lain" bring a romantic feeling to an
otherwise frustrating situation.
O C. The words "forgotten" and "sigh" support the theme of a life
unfulfilled by selfish isolation.
D. The words "heart" and "cry" compare two unlike emotions to show
the capacity of human feelings.
