I believe the correct answer is C. Aunt Agatha can't <span>contact Gussie to get him to change his embarrassing behavior.
A is incorrect because if you read the excerpt, you will see that she meddles everywhere. B is incorrect because nowhere in the excerpt does it say Bertie believes that. D is incorrect because he hasn't agreed to anything yet, at least not in lines 16-30. However, according to aunt Agatha, Gussie is behaving in a poor manner and that should be changed.

I would say the correct answer is A. <span>Despite the snowy and windy weather, a flock of young birds still manages to eat and survive. The imagery in the poem is dark and depressing. Bare trees, snow, dark wind are all the signs of forthcoming death, which is imminent. But even though the landscape is described as cruel and unforgiving, the flock of birds is still cheeping, eating and piping. Their song is certainly not pleasant to the ears, their flying is not vivacious, but it exists - which is the most they can hope for.</span>
