The simile here clearly indicates this sentiment:

C. A postponed dream can become something difficult to carry.

Explanation:

The sentiment here is between the ability of a load to sag. Any load can only sag when it is being carried. It cannot sag when it is in a state of stasis.

Thus, with this out of the way we can see that the sentence that would explain this simile will have the load being carried by the carrier who sees and notices the sag it has induced.

This is well found in the line where the dream is postponed and thus carried in the conscience of the person that makes it heavy. If the dream is expressed it would not be sagged but it is not.

Which two sentences in this expert from President woodrow Wilson speech war message argue that offense is the best defense for A
Lesechka [4]

THIS ISN'T THE ANSWER, only adding on to the question. Excerpt: When I addressed the Congress on the 26th of February last, I thought that it would suffice to assert our neutral rights with arms, our right to use the seas against unlawful interference, our right to keep our people safe against unlawful violence. But armed neutrality, it now appears, is impracticable. Because submarines are in effect outlaws when used as the German submarines have been used against merchant shipping, it is impossible to defend ships against their attacks as the law of nations has assumed that merchantmen would defend themselves against privateers or cruisers, visible craft giving chase upon the open sea.


It is common prudence in such circumstances, grim necessity indeed, to endeavor to destroy them before they have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all. The German government denies the right of neutrals to use arms at all within the areas of the sea which it has proscribed, even in the defense of rights which no modern publicist has ever before questioned their right to defend. The intimation is conveyed that the armed guards which we have placed on our merchant ships will be treated as beyond the pale of law and subject to be dealt with as pirates would be.


Armed neutrality is ineffectual enough at best; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensions it is worse than ineffectual: it is likely only to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is practically certain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of belligerents. There is one choice we cannot make, we are incapable of making: we will not choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and our people to be ignored or violated. The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life.
