Respuesta :

Haiku is a type of Japanese poetry that flourished at the dawn of the 1600’s  and it was the opening section of a large poem.

Correct option is B.

The structure of the poems differ in the sense that "Digging" jumps from the present time to the past, while Basho's haiku captures a single moment in time.

In the first poem, called "Digging" there is a clear jump in time within the structure, as the speaker is first set in the present time "till his straining rump among the flowerbeds, bends low..." but then jumps to the past tense when stating "where he was digging."

There is a jump in time to add to the message and story line of the poem. On the other hand, in the poem "The haiku" the author is capturing a singe moment in time, with no time jumps visible.
