Answer:
The phrase "the edge of the sea concerned / with itself" most strongly suggests:
A) The sea continues to break on the shore despite Icarus's drowning.
Explanation:
"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus", by William Carlos Williams, is a poem that describes a painting by Pieter Brueghel. The painting depicts the mythological character Icarus falling from the sky into the ocean as his wax wings are melted by the sun. The poem and the painting convey the same idea that the world goes on without consideration for the suffering of a being. Not one person, one thing, was disturbed by Icarus's fall. As the lines say, "the edge of the sea concerned / with itself", meaning the ocean itself is not disturbed. Icarus has just fallen inside it, but the sea continues to break on the shore as if nothing has happened, as if no one had died.

However, his common sense is doubted when he claims the angels kill Annabel because they are jealous of her and when he expresses that he is lying on his lover's tomb. As a result of his insanity, the accuracy of the information in the poem is questioned, which makes him an unreliable narrator. Nevertheless, he details the story with such intensity and passion that different narrator would not have caused the same effect.</em>
