Only two of the four sentences contain a direct address.  A direct address exists when someone addresses someone directly, meaning speaks to them by name.  In (A), Walt is being addressed.  In (C), Denise is being addressed.  Direct addresses are always set off (separated from the other words) by commas.  If the direct address is the first word in a sentence, it is followed by a comma.  If the direct address is the last word in a sentence, it is immediately preceded by a comma.  If the direct address appears elsewhere in the sentence, it is sandwiched between commas.  For example,  "I was wondering, David, if you'd mind helping at the event?"  By the way, when a title or endearment functions in a sentence as a name, it is also considered a direct address:  "If you don't let me go to the party, Mom, I'll never speak to you again."  In your problem, (C) contains the direct address that is punctuated properly because Denise is followed by a comma.

All of the following images from"An Arab Shepherd is searching for his Goat on Mount Zion" hold cultural meaning and significanc
IRINA_888 [86]
Hello!

Your questions is incomplete. The complete poem is:

An Arab Shepherd Is Searching For His Goat On Mount Zion

An Arab shepherd is searching for his goat on Mount Zion / and on the opposite hill I am searching for my little boy. / An Arab shepherd and a Jewish father / both in their temporary failure. / Our two voices met above / the Sultan’s Pool in the valley between us. / Neither of us wants the boy or the goat / to get caught in the wheels / of the “Chad Gadya” machine. / Afterward we found them among the bushes, / and our voices came back inside us / laughing and crying. / Searching for a goat or for a child has always been / the beginning of a new religion in these mountains.

-

The whole text has cultural references. Mount Zion, by its use and historical significance, the "sultan's swimming pool", being a specific reference of an Arab culture and the Chad Gaya, for being a musical style. The Arab shepherd, however, enters more into the perspective of common sense, and could be seen, from an alternative perspective, as an emptiness of cultural meaning.
