Answer 2

The isolation of individuals best describes the modernist theme reflected in the poem.

Answer: B

Explanation

The theme is clearly shown in the poem, for instance, when the poet says they go to pity since their friend has abandoned them.

The poet is trying to demonstrate how the individuals have been isolated.

There are diverse categories of persons, for instance, the rich and the poor, those who are married and those not.

The divisions, therefore, are the sources of isolation and make individual from low living standards and those who are not married to form their isolated group.
