Read the following excerpt from the poem "Spring" by Edna St. Vincent Millay:
To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
Which best describes the effect of the poem's word choice on its meaning?
O A. The words "purpose" and "beauty" suggest that April, and spring in
general, is a source of optimism for the speaker.
O B. The speaker explains that April provides encouragement with its
beauty, which includes the "little leaves opening stickily."
O C. The speaker compares the stickiness of the new red leaves with
the rest of spring's glory to suggest new life
D. The phrase "no longer quiet me" conveys the speaker's indignation
with April, as if she has been tricked by its beauty.
