The correct answer is C. One very short poem by Whitman is called “A Noiseless Patient Spider.”

Step-by-step explanation:

In grammar, one of the main aspects that make a sentence correct is the use of punctuation marks. In terms of punctuation marks for literary works, the grammatical rules established the names of short-literary works such as poems or short stories or the sections of longer works such as the chapter of a work should always be marked by quotation marks (") at the beginning and the end of them. On the other hand, longer works or complete works such as novels should be marked by using italics. Also, in all titles the first word and others words should be capitalized except if they are articles, conjunctions or preposition such as the word the, of or and. Considering this, the sentence that is written correctly is One very short poem by Whitman is called “A Noiseless Patient Spider.” because this is the only sentence that uses the quotation marks to mark the title of a poem or short literary work which is grammatically correct. Also, in this case, this a simple sentence and therefore adding other punctuation marks such as parentheses is incorrect.
