Which of the following BEST captures what the poet communicates when he says, “Keep your eyes closed./ Get rid of the whole goddamn pile if you/ want to/ in the morning?”

The author writes 

"Keep your eyes closed.
Get rid of the whole goddamn pile if you
want to
in the morning."

There are multiple ways to interpret the stanza, such as:

1. Since newspapers are hinted to be symbolising repressed knowledge, perhaps saying that we should get rid of the whole goddamn pile in the morning, 'if we want to', would actually help us avoid confrontation. Or perhaps it also alludes to the fact that it is individual choice that determines how we react when we are confronted with ignorance.
2. The author might not be alluding to either ignorance or confrontation; maybe the author merely wants to point out that it is up to the individual how he/she approaches the knowledge, especially when it might be a threat.

Regardless of our interpretation of the stanza, there's an easier way to approach the question. Out of the five options provided, four of them, more or less, say the same thing. Options B, C, D, and E all talk about ignorance (escaping/ being delusional/ confrontation is not the best way/ better to avoid the past), whereas option A discusses 'acting on an unsettling past'. For this reason, option A is the correct answer.
