Explanation:

This question addresses the difference between "figuratively" and "literally." When we describe something "figuratively," we use metaphors, figures of speech and symbolism in order to describe something. Therefore, we are not conveying the exact meaning of what we want to say. On the other hand, when we speak "literally," we state exactly what it is that we want to say, with no metaphorical or symbolic meaning. In this case, if we describe what is literally happening in the poem, we see that a person talks about greeting someone with an open hand or with a clenched fist. However, this might convey a different meaning if read figuratively.

if the line is on the circumference of the circle and is at right angles   to the circle you get a ring.

if the line contains the diameter, you get a sphere.

the the line is parallel to the diameter and touches the circumference, you get a donut.
