Answer:
This poem is an extended metaphor. Although the speaker doesn't mention any races, it is clear that she is showing how the freedoms allotted whites are diametrically opposed to those given to the blacks. In the first stanza, the speaker illustrates how the free bird, or white race, is untroubled. It also shows how the white race has the audacity to own and govern society unjustly. The speaker concludes'' (the free bird) dares to claim the sky". This shows how whites demonstrated discrimination and prejudice toward blacks. Unfortunately, this deplorable conduct was condoned in society.

Explanation:
Many battles and wars (such as the one at Gettysburg), are commemorated by statues or monuments, with some areas preserved as monuments and national parks. This claim contradicts the view that Carl Sandburg (1918) has developed in his war poem "Grass"." I am the grass; I cover all.", the poet ,here, believes that people forget about battles and wars. "All" refers to the bodies from different battles and wars. The grass , "Let me work.." will naturally bury the misery and the mistakes human beings have made. Besides, time will pass and the people visiting the places where the piles of bodies were buried will just ask these simple questions : " What place is this?; Where are we now?" because society will easily forget about its own wounds. The poet's view is pessimistic. Nature will cover up human beings ' mistakes and they will make them again since they will be erased from memory. The fact that human beings repeat their mistakes is reflected when the poet mentions many wars and battles : "Austerlitz", " Waterloo", "Gettysburg" , "Ypres" and "Verdun". Therefore, monuments and national parks may be useless for Carl Sandburg. Human beings will just forget and go to war again. War means nothing to them; they will just "shovel the bodies under the grass."
Well, we can eliminate B because there are very few plays where they read out the stage directions. This play just by reading it wouldn't be one of them. So, B is now eliminated.
C can be eliminated too. The volume seems to stay calm throughout all of the passage.
D I feel we can eliminate too.
Therefore A is your best answer.
Hope this helps!
