The answer you are searching for is:
Creon is Antigone's uncle in the play Antigone and is ultimately responsible for her death. Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus, whose sin of accidentally having sex with his mother is arguable responsible for the curse that appears to plague his descendants. Creon is Oedipus's brother, and is currently the king of Thebes; he is committed to maintaining the peace in his kingdom. Just prior to Creon's rule, Antigone's brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, had engaged in a bloody battle for control of Thebes. When both brothers died and Creon assumed power, Creon decreed that only Eteocles would receive a burial; Polynices would be left to rot.
Antigone disobeyed her uncle and insisted upon burying Polynices anyway. Creon did everything he could to dissuade her, but ultimately could not convince her to give up her quest to bury her brother. The central point of the play is that Antigone believes in doing what she knows to be right, whereas Creon believes in doing what is necessary to maintain the peace in Thebes. Because Creon is committed to this goal, Antigone ultimately dies, making Creon ultimately the villain of the play.

The best answer here is choice B. We can determine this because of the tense used throughout the passage itself. Bearing this in mind, choice B matches the tense perfectly.
Choice A does not work at all because the verb "am" makes no sense in the context of the sentence. The same is true for choice C. The passage is not in present tense, so it cannot be this choice. Choice D could make sense, except that this is in the future tense versus the past tense.
Answer:
The correct option is, will.
Explanation:
Because would is in past tense, so if the word am was, was then it would be past tense so then the word would, would fit in so that makes it present tense.
So hope this helps:)
Answer:
a. It criticizes the way some readers try to understand a poem
Explanation:
Billy Collins makes a great reference to how some readers try to understand a poem, by saying that they begin beating it with a hose, trying to explain that they take everything too rough and do not consider all the factors, nor try with the care and importance that analyzing a poem should have, he writes in his poem the ways to understand a poem, speaks about
"I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author’s name on the shore."
Speaking about a way of getting to know the poem and investigate, about feeling it and letting it take you places, but all what readers want to do is easily and quickly understand it.
