Which best explains what william carlos williams meant when he said a poem is like a machine? a. poetry has energy and can carry a lot of meaning. b. poetry tends to be mechanical and repetitive. c. modern poetry is often written very quickly. d. modern poetry can be reproduced easily.

Answer would be A because poetry is not often written quickly, it all depends on the process of the writer which cancels C out.
