C.they call to mind sudden quick actions which helps establish the poems tone and suggests the need to respect the forses of nature
I believe it would be the 3rd answer
Here's three choices you can choose
-The lines show the strength of children, as they continue to succeed even without their parents.
-The choices of parents are not the choices of their children
-The children gain agency to act by the end of the poem, with the implication that they will act better than their parents.
D) A savage beguiler
In sheathings of silk
The lines chosen must show that the sea is cruel but it seems as though it's not. The word beguile means to enchant something in a deceptive way. By describing the sea as a savage beguiler, it gives the sea the image of something that is fierce, but not seen as fierce. It's seemingly calm beauty, like silk, tricks one into thinking that it is calm.
The other options do not work. Option A only creates a negative image. Option B also only creates a negative image of the sea as a predator. Option C personifies the sea as having fingers, but doesn't show it's cruel nature.
