Read the poem that celebrates mountain climbing.

To the Mountains

Let there be light, the sky

Declares. And the sun answers.

Yellow ribbons cascade across

A serrated skyline, filling each valley

Until it bursts.



Alpine mornings wake in defiance

Of gravity. The rock opens its hands,

Draws men up, through the light.

Distant summits, where the earth

Meets the heavens.



The earth shifts through each ribbon,

Like water, an ocean of rock

Braced against, all that space.

Where men drift, a sea above and below,

And reach.

Part A

What sensation is created by the phrase yellow ribbons cascade in the first stanza?
A. flowing light
B. declining force
C. falling shadows
