C) to suggest that people are usually unable to understand the feeling of hope
D) to indicate that people who are always hopeful are also often forgetful

Answer 1

The poet might have written that hope "sings the tune without the words" to emphasize that hope does not need to be put into words to be felt (Option A). This phrase suggests that the feeling of hope is universal and can be experienced even when it's not explicitly stated or described. Hope is often a deep, intrinsic emotion that people feel internally, and it doesn't always require verbal expression to be understood or experienced.
