Which of the statements below describes a theme from the poem?

A. Dragons are mystical beings that symbolize awe.

B. Human achievement will help society to persevere.

Before dawn the silent pines

Erupt like bated breath. Lift

Up the tall victory column.

Somewhere above soft cover

An amber dragon bays chase.

Gagarin in his brave headdress,

leaps first over the damp wall

of a pale, purple prison.

C. Feelings of dread can force people to achieve less.

D. Space travel will allow humans to reach world peace.

"when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
