I believe the third stanza is the correct answer:
<span>Seven captains at our seven gates
Thundered; for each a champion waits,
Each left behind his armor bright,
Trophy for Zeus who turns the fight;
Save two alone, that ill-starred pair
One mother to one father bare,
Who lance in rest, one 'gainst the other
Drave, and both perished, brother slain by brother.
These lines tell the story of what happened immediately prior to the play Antigone. It describes the events of when her two brothers fought and kill each other in battle, which is the reason why the play Antigone exists. The first two stanzas describe events from a long time ago, and the fourth one are current events. The third one gives a background to the story, which is why I'd pick that option.

The central theme seems to be getting to know any person past their public persona. This can be seen because the author writes from two self-proclaimed different points of view about how the other person didn't turn out to be who the person speaking thought they would be. After a couple weeks of interaction with these people from different social groups Mariah says "That kind of attitude was about as far from her actual personality as it gets" refering to what she thought of Jordyn, who in turn says "I realized I actually liked Mariah a lot more than I’d expected to"; these two statements coupled with the title indicate that we mmust get to learn people to rid ourselves of the image we have of them and form an informed opinion of who they really are.
This would be A- [Baking was never easy for LaKeisha, for something always went wrong.] The word “for” after the comma is being used as a synonym for “because” here. It’s less common in modern texts, but does show up occasionally, and can be differentiated from the more typical meaning by its placement after a comma.
