What is the meaning of these lines in the closing sestet of “Lights”? Human inventiveness has brought brightness and optimism to

the world. The power of love transforms the ordinary lights of city buildings into delicate works of art. People use the lights to brighten and mask the dreariness of their lives. The lighted windows on winter nights symbolize the energy and vibrancy of the city.

Answer:

People use the lights to brighten and mask the dreariness of their lives.

Explanation:

It is in a very depressing tone that Sara Teasdale finishes her poem "Lights", it is written in a time where lights represented a certain status in life, a certain wealth, and is written from the perspective of a person that has no lights in her home and that refugees in the love that her family can bring when the darkness comes, she states that they are shielding themselves from the dark with the lights to mask the drearines of their lives.

<em>"But to us standing here there comes the stark</em>

<em>Sense of the lives behind each yellow light,</em>

<em>And not one wholly joyous, proud, or free. "</em>

And not one with wholly joyous, proud, or free, that is where she states the dreariness , ot hollowness of those lights.

The correct answer is D, this is 'present perfect' tense. It is formed with the use of the verb HAVE in present simple tense (so, HAVE/HAS), and the past participle of a verb (or the third column of irregular verbs). 
A cannot be correct, because then it would say - I hear.
B cannot be correct, because then it would say - I had heard.
C cannot be correct, because then it would say - I heard.
And since there is also HAVE HEARD, the correct answer has to be D.
