PLEASEEE HELPPPP 25 POINTS PLUS BRAINLIEST

George Gray Edgar Lee Masters I have studied many times The marble which was chiseled for me-- A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor. In truth it pictures not my destination But my life. 5 For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment; Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid; Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances. Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life. And now I know that we must lift the sail 10 And catch the winds of destiny Wherever they drive the boat. To put meaning in one's life may end in madness, But life without meaning is the torture Of restlessness and vague desire-- 15 It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.


The speaker in this poem is thinking about his life in the
A) future.
B) past.
C) present.
D) sea.

Answer 1

I think option D) sea is the right one as most of the things he mentioned here is either boats or sailing.

Answer 2

Answer:

up till 9, they talked about their past, and from 10 to 16 it explains why life without meaning is like toeture.

Explanation:

the only exception would be 9, which talks about what they now know. But asides from that, the rest seems to be talking the past, so B seems like the best choice. (i could be wrong though)
