The Moment The moment when, after many years of hard work and a long voyage you stand in the centre of your room, house, half-ac

re, square mile, island, country, knowing at last how you got there, and say, I own this, is the same moment when the trees unloose their soft arms from around you, the birds take back their language, the cliffs fissure and collapse, the air moves back from you like a wave and you can't breathe. No, they whisper. You own nothing. You were a visitor, time after time climbing the hill, planting the flag, proclaiming. We never belonged to you. You never found us. It was always the other way round. Margaret Atwood In the last line of the poem, the speaker suggests that people a. can control nature. c. belong to nature. b. are controlled by their possessions. d. can only possess tangible things.

Answer:

c. belong to nature.

Explanation:

In this poem, the author describes the feeling that people have sometimes when they think they can control nature. She tells us that people tend to say "I own this," and they feel superior to nature. She warns us about this feeling. She tells us that humans can never "own" or "control" anything. They cannot even "find" nature. It is the other way around, because humans ultimately are part of nature and belong to it.
