Correct Answer:
C. Ezra Pound
Explanation:
Ezra Pound's poem "In a Station of the Metro" is notable for its total lack of verbs and its brevity, consisting of just fourteen words excluding the title. The piece juxtaposes the sight of ghostly faces in a crowd with petals on a damp branch. Pound uses the term "apparition" and focuses on "faces" rather than individuals to create a sense of blurred, spectral imagery. Therefore, option (c) is the correct choice.
