My guess would be A.<span>It causes the lines to stand out so the reader reflects on their importance. But I'm only 98% sure on that so don't just rely on my answer lol. I still hope it helped a bit! Good Luck! :)</span>
Based on the given excerpt above, I can say that the what the carp represents here are DEATH and INNOCENCE. Death here refers to how the twenty-pound carp was being treated and innocence refers to the teachers and boarding students who tasted the carp. This excerpt is actually from Yun Wang's "The Carp" and this lyric poem reflects his bad experiences from his father, such as imprisonment and torture.
Clouds often hide the magnificent mountain. I think lol.
