Question Explanation
Text Explanation
It can be understood that these drunken flames that the woman holds truly know her, how she got there, and her current condition. We need to look at the options to see which would fit the best.
Option A: This is too literal an interpretation. Further, the "forces" do not convey anything that the yellow flames would want to represent.
Option B: This is a viable option. We can look at other options and come back to compare it with any other suitable ones we might have.
Option C: This is taking the flames in a literal sense and hence can be eliminated
Option D: This is the best option so far; the memories also connect with how the woman can not find her reflection the mirror as she has lost her real identity somewhere, so now she lies, holding the memories of her identity to preserve what little she remembers of herself.
Option E: This while in line with option D, is slightly incorrect, the flames are not the pursuit but the memories themselves, her action of holding them is the pursuit. Making E the better choice
Option B might make sense in a vacuum but D fits better with the overall theme of the poem about the lost identity of a nameless woman.
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.Video Explanation
