B.Eden is a place that, like the natural world, is known to be filled with gold.

C.Eden's short-lived perfection is similar to the temporary perfection of nature's first green.

D.Eden is a place that Frost visited many times and came to think of as golden.

Answer 1

The answer is C. Eden boasted perfection for a short amount of time before it was destroyed, which is a comparison of the way trees and other things in nature have temporary green color, and beauty, before being destroyed by the harsh hand of fall and winter.
