Answer:

(A) They both portray spring as a person decorating.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Spring" is written by Edna St. Vincent Millay, while "Spring is like a perhaps hand" is written by E. E. Kummings (officially with C not a K).

The two poems describe how spring is a person, through Kummings described it as people who are arranging things, while Millay described it as a a naive person throwing around flowers.

The two tones of the poems are also very different, with Millay's being more sardonic in tone. Kummings also uses a third-person omniscient perspective when writing the poem, while Millay wrote in first person, writing a letter to April, which personifies Spring.
