Answer 2

Answer:

The statement best describe differences in the style of the two works is Option C: The poem reveals details that explain Kahlo’s facial expressions, while the painting does not.

Explanation:

Personification is the main theme of the poem "Sonnet in Primary Colors" by Rita Dove. It mentions about women who should be appreciated in the society. It also says that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. One would see something beautiful if the person perceives it as beautiful. It depicts about Freida Kahlo. The poem talks about the facial expressions of Kahlo and her feelings as well. Poet uses visual imagery by mentioning that Frieda painted herself with parrots and wore a Spanish attire.

The painting doesn't talk about the facial expressions. This is the main difference in the style of the two works. Thus, correct answer is Option C.
