Answer:

White Spaces in poems are simply spaces within a line of poetry, usually inserted as a guide to the reader on how to pace the reading of the poem.

It can also be used to modify the meaning of a poem or to elicit a "pause" and "reflection" from the reader.

White space is to a poet what the "pause for effect" is to the orator.

Explanation:

Don Paterson’s for instance in one of his works played a witty one with "white space".

He gives the poem a very long title (a 15-word caption which is uncommon with poems) then leaves the next page blank. Of course, this effect was very impactful and creative as if he intended to go instantly from a wordy sanguine to an introverted phlegmatic.

Annie Caldwell in an article "The White Space in Poetry" demonstrated the effect of white spaces by taking her old poem and rearranged it using white spaces without changing any of the words. The effect is that the poem took on a different meaning.

 Mark Strand, for instance, writes, in “Keeping Things Whole"

The first two lines are quick to strike at the title. Then there is a space before the as if asking the reader to pause and think.

Cheers!

1. In truth, I found myself incorrigible with respect to Order; and now I am grown old, and my memory bad, I feel very sensibly the want of it.

2. But, on the whole, tho' I never arrived at the perfection I had been so ambitious of obtaining, but fell far short of it, yet I was, by the endeavour, a better and a happier man than I otherwise should have been if I had not attempted it; as those who aim at perfect writing by imitating the engraved copies, tho' they never reach the wish'd-for excellence of those copies, their hand is mended by the endeavor, and is tolerable while it continues fair and legible.

Why does the author most likely emphasize the size of New York City ?
mote1985 [20]

I would choose a. Simply because the author talks about it as if it's all that really ever existed and that nature cannot take over what it is not. However, it goes on about seeing how erosion and rot can affect such things and tries to compare it to things in nature as if it were nature itself.
