Answer:

"Round the decay/Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare"

Explanation:

Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" describes a traveler's encounter with an ancient statue of Ozymandias and how dilapidated it had become. The poem is suggestive of the destructive power of nature and how man's works seemed mere obstacles for the stronger power of nature.

In the words of the poet through the traveler, we can know that the once-mighty statue of Ozymandias had now become "a shattered visage [with] wrinkled lip." Though proudly displayed with the words "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!", the only thing that remained is a "decay[ing] colossal wreck".

The words "decay" and "colossal wreck" best indicate the state of the statue.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Incomplete question. The complete question reads;

In the context of the text, what does it mean to be brave? How did Díaz finally confront his fears, and what was the result? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer.

Explanation:

From the text, to show how fear drives action an excerpt from the novel Dune was mentioned by the narrator, he said " ‘‘Fear is the mind-killer,’’ and let me tell you, my man knows of what he speaks. When the brothers appeared, I couldn’t think for nothing. I would drop whatever I was doing and get away, and it was only later, after I calmed down, that I would realize what I had done." In other words, it pursues one into running from the object or subject of fear. Motivation to be brave often comes from the fact that it is the only way out attaining freedom from fear.

Díaz said he finally confronted his fears when he no longer fled from his bullies, in fact, he said,

"I forced myself to stop. I forced myself to turn toward them, and it felt as if the whole world was turning with me. I couldn’t make myself walk toward them, I could barely even look at them, so I settled for standing still. As the brothers approached, the ground started tilting out from under me. One of them scowled. And then, without a word, they walked past"
