First of all, the setting is enhanced by a stark contrast between two images that are put into the equation. The first image represents a bleak, gloomy picture of anonymous faces deep beneath the ground, in the Metro station, waiting for their train to come. The second image suddenly brings us somewhere else - into nature, with hints to the bleakness of the first scene ("wet", "black"). The setting of this short, modernist haiku poem is a big city with all modernist fascination by its crowded scenes, dynamics, and alienation. It's like the speaker froze the image, the people's actions and movements at this crowded place on a busy day. But it's not the speaker's influence; it's their very act of passively waiting for the train. By introducing the glimpse into nature, Pound made a counterpoint that provides an entirely new and fresh perspective on the city scene. Another modernist element is the use of language - everyday language, unadorned, free of all formal restraints, direct ("these") and simple. It also enhances the setting of the poem because it fits into the city context.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not include the article or the link to access it. Without that information, we do not know specifically what you are referring to.
However, trying to help, we can comment on the following terms.
There is an article titled <em>"Slowing Gulf Stream Current to Boost Warming for 20 Years,"</em> written by Matt McGrath on July 19, 2018, that exposes the concerns of environmental scientists about the issue of how the gulf stream is slowing down and the effects this could have in the short and medium terms.
One of the consequences of this phenomenon could be the cooling of Europe and other parts of the world in a relatively short period. Scientists think that this situation and the melting of the ice caps in the North Pole will add to the severity of the cooling of the world, and the consequences for humans.
B. Happiness and satisfaction are possible when a person has the chance to make choices in an environment they feel comfortable navigating. This is the most appropriate option to choose after reading this article.
Explanation:
This is a part of the article that was written based on the findings of Stephen and Kalpan, professors and also, scientists who demonstrated the three keys to happiness.
As a part of his study and research, professor of environment, Kalpan spoke about certain aspects that can drive humans towards feeling happy and contented about their lives. Their approach towards nature, their environment and surroundings on which they have a control on and also about how well they tackle changes arising in those aspects is what we understand after reading this article.
Another possible option can be, A. Without opportunities to engage in the natural world, it is extremely unlikely that a person will achieve happiness - because, when few were allowed to peep out, take a glance, walk around in natural world, they felt more happy.
