D. Share his desire to restore the world to its pristine condition, using an unstructured format.

Answer 2

D) share his desire to restore the world to its pristine condition, using an unstructured format.

Ginsberg wants to restore the world to its pristine condition. Throughout the text he uses phrases like "return white as snow", "make it azure again", and "put all...back", these support the idea of restoration. When something is restored, it's returned to its original state. Free verse poetry is also defined as an unstructured poem with no defined format.
