Answer 2

The correct answer is: It conveys the idea of isolation from modern life.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the main characteristics of Modernism is individuality, this is, isolation from society and modern life, accompanied by pessimism.

In this poem, T.S. Elliot indicates that he did not see himself as a part of modern society, by describing himself as a lonely, man. He considers that all the values of modern society are lost, so he feels a strong need to abandon society and being alone, as he considers it nonsense, without any values.
