Careened’,
These oily tears
Dripping down the tears on your depressed face,
Will one day be staunched, I swear!
Ibiwari Ikiriko, Oily Tears.
The tone of the poet is
- supplicatory
-
optimistic
- sympathetic
- piteous
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
The tone is optimistic because it predicts an end to the shedding of tears. The phrase oily tears is a metonymy for oil spill being a cause of sorrow (i.e. tears) to the addressee,and the poet being of a strong hope that oil spilling and attendant suffering will become a past tense matter (staunched)sooner than later, is clearly optimistic.
