Answer:
The correct answer is option b. These lines emphasize the stillness of the house in contrast to the growth and movement of nature.
Explanation:
In this poem we can see a person who goes to what was once her home but now only ashes remain. The speaker can still see what it was like before it was burned, she sees herself eating breakfast and can hear the loved ones she has lost.
There is a lot of pain in her words and by how she describes the house we can see that there is only silence and ruins. As everything continues to move around it, in the house she can only see the destroyed or melted objects and memories that are no longer there.
For this reason, we can say that the correct answer is option B.
