The phrase "lily of a man" as it is used in line 3 of Gary Soto's poem most closely means an anxious weakling, as is said in option C and explained below.

To find the answer, we used our knowledge of context clues.

<h3>What are context clues?</h3>

Context clues are any words or phrases that help us figure out the meaning or connotation of other words or phrases in the same context. Here, we need to understand the meaning of "lily of a man."

The context clues used for that is "A coward I am not," the phrase that comes immediately before "lily of a man." Since both phrases complete each other, we can assume they have similar meanings.

Therefore, we can safely conclude the speaker is saying that he is not an anxious weakling, not a coward. The best answer in this case is option C.

One of the most important ideas of “Ozymandias” is the a. permanence of sculpted monuments. c. meaninglessness of earthly power.
castortr0y [4]

The poem "Ozymandias" written by Percy Busshe speaks in a traditional, simple manner how much the human aspiration to their power and material achievements and wealth provides for themselves an eternity. Thinking that their material, earthly power is immortal, tells how much they cheat themselves, in the inability to understand what is eternal. Even the Ozymandias's statue, which is material and transient, is decaying, more durable than them.

The answer is: C.
