I am going to say A is your answer. Neither side was able to seize territory from the other.
I'm not sure why you asked this in the English forum, but hopefully this helps you anyway. :)
1. <span> like haunted children, </span>how can we, how can we even <span>begin to redress?
2. </span>gold <span>poured out of your mouth in song;
For number 1, haunted children don't set things right, but do the opposite.
For number two, the simile means that the song coming out of your mouth is so perfect, it's like gold.
Hope this helps!
