Which attributes of this poem by ezra pound are characteristic of modernist poetry

in a station of the metro

the apparition of faces in the crowd;
petals on a wet, black bough.

the absence of allusions to other works

the close relation between the title and the poem

it can be more than one

The correct answers are C and D.

"In a Station of the Metro" is a very short poem that does not provide any information about the author's thoughts or emotions.
