PART B: Which quote from the text best supports the answer to Part A?

C

D
"They are alive and well somewhere, / The smallest sprout shows there is really no death, / And if ever there was it led forward life" ( Stanza 21)

Answer 1

Option D.

Explanation: This is the only answer about both grass and the cyclical nature of life and death. You can see this in how the quote references how "the smallest sprout shows that there is really no death ... it led forward life." This directly links grass to the circle of life, which provides evidence for your previous answer.
