Read this excerpt from "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Which group of lines points to the Lady of Shalott's impending death?

His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flow'd
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down from Camelot.

From the bank and from the river
He flash'd into the crystal mirror,
'Tirra lirra, tirra lirra:'
Sang Sir Lancelot.

She left the web, she left the loom
She made three paces thro' the room
She saw the water-flower bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.

Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
'The curse is come upon me,' cried
The Lady of Shalott.

Answer: Out flew the web and floated wide; The mirror crack'd from side to side; 'The curse is come upon me,' cried The Lady of Shalott.

Step-by-step explanation: In the given excerpt from "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the group of lines that points to the Lady of Shalott's impending death are the last four lines ("Out flew the web and floated wide; The mirror crack'd from side to side; 'The curse is come upon me,' cried The Lady of Shalott) when she says "The curse is come upon me" after the mirror crack, she is saying that she is going to die.
