Answer:
Option C. The following is the best description for the metaphor conveyed in the poem: There is natural beauty in a city environment.
Explanation:
In the poem "In a Station of the Metro" written by author Ezra Pound, the metaphor "The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough" is used by the writer to convey the idea that there is natural beauty in a city environment. The speaker is describing the many faces in the crowd within a metro station in Paris, and these faces resemble petals on a wet, black bough. A bough is the main branch of a tree, and the speaker is probably describing the faces of the people as petals on a wet and black bough to describe that it is nighttime. The metaphor reinforces one of the main concepts of the poem which is that when we stop and observe our environments, the cities we live in, we can find the natural beauty of small every day moments and scenes.
