Explanation:
The correct choice for the blank is option (c) Winter, Spring, completing the line "If winter comes can spring be far behind?" This famous quotation is from P.B. Shelley’s 1820 poem "Ode to the West Wind." The work is organized into five sections using the terza rima rhyme scheme, where each section includes four tercets (ABA, BCB, CDC, DED) followed by a final rhyming couplet (EE). Within the poem, the West Wind is depicted as both a destructive and regenerative force that clears away the dead past to make room for new life. Shelley uses the wind to symbolize a messenger for his prophecy regarding the arrival of a new golden age.
