Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the excerpt from "Verses upon the Burning of our House, July 10th, 1666" by Anne Bradstreet.

As one could presume, the main event od this poem is the burning of the author's house, which made her question her opinion towards God, property and belongings.

First few lines of the poem describe how she was awakened from her sleep by her neighbors' yells screaming of fire.

She practically states that she doesn't wish to anyone to hear those sounds and experience what she experienced.

Also, this poem is famous for its use inverted syntax (inverted word order).

Now, answers A. and C. communicate the same meaning, however answer A. uses inverted syntax, so the best fitting answer would be C.

Note that, written without inverted syntax, these lines lost the rhyme, which suggests one of the reasons for use of inverted word order.
