I believe the correct answer is: "Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen, "

Metonymy is the type of metaphor, figure of speech, which is uses the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant. In the poem “London” written by William Wordsworth in 1802, the line which uses metonymy to refer to art and literature is the third line: “Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,” as the pen represents the whole literature in England after Milton’s death.

The speaker meant from the excerpt “The Second Coming” by William Butler Yeats when he asks about a “rough beast” that “slouches towards Bethlehem to be born” is he asks about the changes Christianity will need to make in the modern world. The answer is letter B. Yeats intended to depict the upcoming apocalypse with heavy citation from the Book of Revelation. He said that we have now entered the edge of the gyre spiraling inward, the center of emptiness and chaos and the division of democracy, peace and science. And from there came a beast that will cleanse the world and create a new world.
