Answer:
"And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
Then how should I begin
To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?"
Explanation:
Oh, this poem is so good..
I've selected the portion in the poem when the narrator uses metaphor to compare himself to an insect. In this part, he asks what will happen when he is "pinned and wriggling," like a butterfly or beetle that's pinned to a bug collection. Eliot uses this so artfully, my nerd hackles are raised. He's asking -- when I am helpless, uncomfortable, and all my deepest self is exposed -- how shall I explain myself, and who shall I be then?
Answer:
The phrase that should be included to improve the clarity of the sentence is:
A. meaning they touch the snow only in the middle of the board.
Explanation:
Someone who does not snowboard will probably find the original sentence to be a little difficult to understand. We do not know what a camber is. Thus, for the author of the sentence to improve its clarity, that is, to make the sentence understandable to anyone who reads it, he must explain what a camber is.
Among the options, the only one that does that is the first one. The other options only explain that a camber is a technology used in snowboarding, but we still do not know what it is or what it does. However, the first choice lets us know that an inverted camber means the board only touches the snow in its middle. Therefore, it improves clarity.
