The land of biscay by a. e. housman (excerpt) looking from the land of biscay over ocean to the sky on the far-beholding foreland paced at even grief and i. there, as warm the west was burning and the east uncoloured cold, down the waterway of sunset drove to shore a ship of gold. gold of mast and gold of cordage, gold of sail to sight was she, and she glassed her ensign golden in the waters of the sea. oh, said i, my friend and lover, take we now that ship and sail outward in the ebb of hues and steer upon the sunset trail; leave the night to fall behind us and the clouding counties leave: for you and me is yonder, in a haven west of eve. under hill she neared the harbour till the gazer could behold on the golden deck the steersman standing at the helm of gold, man and ship and sky and water burning in a single flame; and the mariner of ocean, he was calling as he came: from the highway of the sunset he was shouting on the sea, "landsman of the land of biscay, have you for grief and me?

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds.beyond the pit stood the little wedge of people with the white flag at its apex, arrested by these phenomena, a little knot of small vertical black shapes upon the black ground. as the green smoke arose, their faces flashed out pallid green, and faded again as it vanished. then slowly the hissing passed into a humming, into a long, loud, droning noise. slowly a humped shape rose out of the pit, and the ghost of a beam of light seemed to flicker out from it.forthwith flashes of actual flame, a bright glare leaping from one to another, sprang from the scattered group of men. it was as if some invisible jet impinged upon them and flashed into white flame. it was as if each man were suddenly and momentarily turned to fire.then, by the light of their own destruction, i saw them staggering and falling, and their supporters turning to run.which options accurately describe how the author develops the plot in the excerpt?
