The answer is A. The poem has a dark and somewhat pessimistic feel, saying that only the bad of heart have ambition and the good of mind and heart lack the passion and ambition. As well as the phrase "innocence drowned" this shows a more morbid tone.

Daniel [21]
As I unwillingly grab my father's old, knitted cap, my mother stops me.
"Darling, what are you doing?" she asks, her hands hiding behind her back. I look around the room searching for something that has gone wrong.
"What do you mean?" I reply. My mother stares deep into my eyes, trying to help my memory.
"Tsk," she mutters. I hang my head low. Mother is disappointed in me.
"Here," she says, moving her hands into view. In her hands, was another knitted cap. The difference, it was mine.
"Thank you," i say, giving her a big hug. She rolls her eyes, but comtinues to stroke my head.

Your speech has run overtime and you’ve been given the 30-second stop signal. You wonder if it would be best to ignore the signa
Aloiza [94]

Explanation:  If you may be cut off by the moderator or the chairman, your audience will at least hear the conclusion you planned. If you are stopped ( and it DOES happen ) in mid-sentence or without making your most important point, the audience will see you as disorganized, or insensitive to the time limits, and may have an unfavorable impression of you-- and they will have missed the purpose of your speech.
