Which interpretation of the poem "Dover Beach," by Matthew Arnold, describes the
effect of an allusion on the poem's meaning?
A. Arnold compares the shore to "folds of a bright girdle furl'd," conveying
the idea that the sad and violent state of nature was better at some point
in the past.
B. In Arnold's poem, the back-and-forth of the sea has an "eternal note of
sadness," as though nature is at war with itself and civilization offers the
only true chance of happiness in the world.
C. Arnold refers to how the sound of the sea reminded Sophocles of
"human misery," which suggests that the bleakness of the world has
been obvious since the beginning of civilization.
D. The speaker of the poem mentions the biblical story of David and
Goliath, in which an ordinary boy, David, brings down a giant with nothing
but a sling and his faith.
