Answer:
B. He wanted to make the poem more concise and direct.
Explanation:
Ezra Pound wrote a 30-line poem where he narrated his experience in a Paris metro station but he discarded this version because he did not like it.
Much later, he again tried narrating his experience, this time making the narration shorter than the first, but he again discarded it.
Finally, after reading Japanese hiakus, Mr. Pound finally wrote his experience in a two-line version that has now become immensely popular because of its length.
So, he reduced his poem from a 30-lined one to two lines because he wanted to make the poem more concise and direct.

Rhyming couplet
Explanation:
A rhyming couplet is a pair of lines whose final words rhyme with one another, and that expresses a complete idea or message. William Shakespeare often used this poetic device at the end of his scenes, to sum up his work's main idea and to add a dramatic effect. Take a look at the following rhyming couplet found in Romeo and Juliet, one of Shakespeare's most famous plays:
"This precious book of love, this unbound lover,
To beautify him only lacks a cover."
