Answer:

O A It conveys that nobodies can experience companionship rather than simply isolation

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello. You did not inform the poem to which this question refers, but when researching your question on the internet, I found a question exactly the same as yours that showed that the poem is called “I'm Nobody! Who are you? ” written by Emily Dickinson.

In this poem the speaker considers himself a "nobody," a person without importance and without recognition. The speaker believes that it is better to be nobody than to be someone and that being nobody promotes a less tiring life. To prevent the idea that being nobody is lonely, the speaker presents the line "Then there’s a pair of us!" which is the third line of the poem, where the speaker assumes that the reader is also a nobody and that therefore the speaker and the reader are not alone, but form a pair and keep each other company. This means that a "nobody" does not have to live in isolation, but can enjoy the company of another "nobody."
