Read the paragraph and "the second coming" and answer the question.

author chinua achebe named his famous memoir, things fall apart, referencing yeats' poem. the book's protagonist, okonkwo, is a fearless but flawed man who stubbornly clings to tradition as he watches the growing influences of modern society effect unavoidable change in his small african village.

the second coming
by w. b. yeats

turning and turning in the widening gyre
the falcon cannot hear the falconer;
things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
5 the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
the ceremony of innocence is drowned;
the best lack all conviction, while the worst
are full of passionate intensity.

surely some revelation is at hand;
10 surely the second coming is at hand.
the second coming! hardly are those words out
when a vast image out of spiritus mundi
troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
a shape with lion body and the head of a man,
15 a gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
the darkness drops again; but now i know
that twenty centuries of stony sleep
20 were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
and what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
slouches towards bethlehem to be born?

which excerpt from the poem suggests the inevitably of the result okonkwo fears?

a.) "the falcon cannot hear the falconer; "
b.) "the ceremony of innocence is drowned; "
c.) "surely some revelation is at hand; "
d.) "and what rough beast, its hour come round at last,"
