I don't believe that he means it as a threat he really does mean it as an idolization of powerlessness due to the fact that throughout the poem he's using language that you could only expect from someone in a hopeless or powerless situation an de to the fact that the tone is slow and you could say placed in a logical way as to show a sense of powerlessness (hope this helps)
The answer is 2 because they are not meaning it in a violent way so it's not 1, there is no sign of disinterest so it's not 4, and it's not talking about acceptance so it can't bring 3. Therefore the answer is 2.
