What does the poet BEST convey about old newspapers when he says “that snakes have spawned in between these sheets?”

The author begins by discussing newspapers as hosting 'snakes' between them, but proceeds to write the following:

"That white corner has spread its hood.
A forked tongue
shoots out of its mouth."

The author compares the white corner of the newspaper to a snake spreading its hood. Although the author initially refers only to newspapers that shelter snakes, he subsequently compares the newspapers themselves to snakes. The most suitable choice, therefore, would be option E: "Old newspapers symbolize the repressed stories that may confront the present." Where repressed stories are alluded to as the author hints at ignorance in the face of information repeatedly through the stanzas.

Option A is incorrect because the author suggests that newspapers can be discarded in the morning (and thus disturbed), which may imply that ignored newspapers are more of a 'threat' as we continue to perceive them as such. Option B is incorrect because the paragraph does not indicate whether the newspapers' hostility is in any way related to societal voices. Option C is a good alternative to E, but calling the decay of knowledge 'turning into toxic remnants' does not capture the symbolism that is meant to be represented by newspapers themselves. Option D is incorrect for the same reason as option A, 'newspapers can be discarded in the morning' implies that they are more of a confrontation than a tangible future threat.
