I’m confused about the options. I don’t recall any mention of grandparents or relationships in the poems, so those seem unlikely.

I think we had a practice question that was similar, and it focused on enthusiasm. I’m leaning towards A, but I could be wrong.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the poems might also touch on nature, especially with the imagery of eating and experiencing it fully.

I remember we talked about how both poems encourage a passionate approach to life, so I think A might be the right choice.
