William Butler Yeats[a] (13 June 1865 – 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. A pillar of the Irish literary establishment, he helped to found the Abbey Theatre, and in his later years served as a Senator of the Irish Free State for two terms. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival along with Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn and others.
Yeats was born in Sandymount, Ireland and educated there and in London. He spent childhood holidays in County Sligo and studied poetry from an early age when he became fascinated by Irish legends and the occult. These topics feature in the first phase of his work, which lasted roughly until the turn of the 20th century. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889, and its slow-paced and lyrical poems display debts to Edmund Spenser, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and the poets of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. From 1900, his poetry grew more physical and realistic. He largely renounced the transcendental beliefs of his youth, though he remained preoccupied with physical and spiritual masks, as well as with cyclical theories of life. In 1923, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

B. Readers care more about what happens to the character.
Explanation:
If a character is only superficial, readers will not feel as if they know him. And it is difficult to care about someone we do not know well. However, <u>when an author takes time to properly develop a character, readers get to truly know him. His feelings, emotions, issues, traits, traumas and so on are all built and revealed in a way that makes readers close to this person. We begin to care about him, to worry about what will happen to him, to root for him - or, in some cases, against him. It's as if the character becomes important, now that we know him so well, to the point of engaging us.</u>
The rhetorical question is B.
"I grass green?" has a very obvious answer and is a very unnecessary question.
