How would "in a station of the metro" change if the bough was bright and lively rather than wet and black?
a.)the station would seem cheerier.
b.)the poem would not be considered imagist.
c.)the people would seem less pleasant.
d.)the poem would no longer be a hokku.

A.) The station would seem cheerier.

Explanation:

As per the question, the replacement of the words 'wet and dark' with 'bright and lovely' would alter the imagery displayed in the poem "In a Station of the Metro" and would make the station seem more cheerier. The imagist style employed by Ezra Pound exemplifies her modernist approach where she critics the conciseness of life and elicits a transient tone. If the imagery of bough is altered(through the change of words), it would seem more pleasant and cheerier as imagery functions to build the vision and imagination of the readers. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
