The correct answer is is A.
The answer to this question is in Auden's words "for instance". His poem is not specifically about Icarus and his tragedy. It transcends this particular story, elevating its message to the highest, universal level. The poem is about suffering as an integral constituent of life. People are often completely unaware of other people's suffering. The Icarus motif is just an example, albeit a very drastic one. It serves as the poem's climax. The "delicate ship" is on its course and it keeps sailing, although the crew must have seen "a boy falling out of the sky". In other words, the strange death of a young boy changes nothing in the course of other people's lives. That is why, unlike Williams' poem, this one doesn't even have Icarus in its title, but the Museum. It deals with the relations of life vs. death and art vs. reality, rather than Icarus' tragic story.
The word "static" would best accompany "unmoving" since when something is "static" is often changes very little, if at all. This is used frequently in physics and even economics.
The correct answer is the last option-The handicaps devised to conceal the ballerina’s strength and beauty actually accentuate them.
It is ironic because usually one associates beauty with something delicate and fragile. However, here it is the physical strength that makes this woman appealing. The author is not necessarily attracted by her physical appearance per se, but by the persistence and toughness present in her ability to endure the hardship of carrying the handicap bags.
