Instructions

Read the poem below and answer the 2 associated questions:

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But, if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Solution

Of the options, B C & D talk about the emotions already discussed in the poem.
Option E makes a comparison of two emotions which cannot be inferred from the poem.
Option A talks about greed, which can be considered a product of desire and hence is the apt choice.
