The way the author uses the words of the poem and how the author displays the attitude that is used in the poem.

The right answer is the A) "... banked with dirt to a height of..."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this is the choice with the most grammatically correct structure. Options D and E should be discarded, primarily because they unnecessarily repeat the verb "was." In addition, option C can also be discarded, since the pronoun "them" is incorrectly used—the verb "banked" is referring to the framework of poles, and this is singular. Finally, option B should also be discarded, since the phrase would require the use of a comparative element—"as that of a three feet high table," for instance.
