The correct answer is B.
In this passage from Ayn Rand's "Anthem", the narrator is exploring an abandonen tunnel made from an unknown material.
The narrator describes the walls as "hard and smooth" and "cold as glass". This depiction leads us to believe that the interior of the tunel is made of man-made concrete.
The narrator states that the material feel like stone but it is not, therefore answer A is incorrect. The walls are also said to be soft, making C incorrect as well. And there is no mention of the walls being wet, for what answer D is not correct either.
The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells first serialised in 1897 in the UK by Pearson's Magazine and in the US by Cosmopolitan magazine. The novel's first appearance in hardcover was in 1898 from publisher William Heinemann of London. Written between 1895 and 1897,[2] it is one of the earliest stories that detail a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race.[3] The novel is the first-person narrative of both an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and of his younger brother in London as southern England is invaded by Martians. The novel is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon.[4]
The plot has been related to invasion literature of the time. The novel has been variously interpreted as a commentary on evolutionary theory, British imperialism, and generally Victorian superstitions, fears and prejudices. At the time of publication, it was classified as a scientific romance, like Wells's earlier novel The Time Machine. The War of the Worlds has been both popular (having never been out of print) and influential, spawning half a dozen feature films, radio dramas, a record album, various comic book adaptations, a television series, and sequels or parallel stories by other authors. It has even influenced the work of scientists, notably Robert Goddard, who (inspired by the book) invented both the liquid fuelled rocket and multistage rocket, which resulted in the Apollo 11 moon landing 71 years later.[5]<span>[6]</span>

Explanation:
Modernist poetry is impressionistic instead of lyrical, and often focuses on one single image or a vignette to convey its theme and the poem consists of short impressions.
This poem has a lot of character, uses free verse with the normal every day diction of speech but with pointed and sharp small lines to convey the essence of the fog contained in a small space.
The small lines, the impassioned tone without flowery diction is all symbolic of a modernist tinge to the poetry.
