Answer:
The author uses anaphoras, free verse and personification
Explanation:
The style and technique used by Carl Salsburg in this poem is a free verse style, using anaphoras to create emphasis and personification.
To use free verse means that within the poem, there is no regular rhyme scheme or meter.
Also, anaphoras are a form of creating emphasis in the poem, by repeating certain verses like "Shovel them under and let me work, I am the grass; I cover all." Similarly, the author enlists some battlefields across Europe, using the same format. "Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. And pile them high at Gettysburg, And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun. " Without the constant repetition, the reader may overlook the focal point of the poem.
Last, the personification of the grass in the poem. By talking like a person and acting out, the grass creates symbolism with emotional meaning. It is about life after death, the constant change of life and the forgetfulness.
Without all these elements the poem wouldn't have the meaning that it does, the depth that the author communicates.

But it could also mean that the host is feeling proud, hence they use the color purple as symbolism. Also, it could mean one way or another. Hence, the answer is letter C.
