Answer:
D. A person is deciding whether to greet someone with an open hand or a clenched fist.
Explanation:
In order to answer this question, we need to understand the difference between "figuratively" and "literally." When we describe something "figuratively," we use metaphors, figures of speech and symbolism in order to describe it. On the other hand, when we speak "literally," we state exactly what it is that we want to say. Therefore, if we read this poem literally, we see that a person is trying to decide between offering a greeting with a clenched fist or an open hand.
