The correct answer is the following: option a. In the poem "I Am the Land. I Wait" what angers the speaker is the prospect of being chained and fenced. "I Am the Land. I Wait" is a short poem written by author Marina Da Bellagente. In the poem, the author personified the land to underline how the man is constantly trying to dominate the land, although he doesn't own it. When the man uses the land for plating trees or grass, or when children dance on it, the land is happy. And the land always waits. But the land, which is the speaker, gets angry whenever the man tries to put boundaries to the land, building fences or gates.
