Answer:

The Answer is option B:The word “heart” is a stressed syllable in each poem and part of a key image related to the theme.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the reader reads the First line segment of Auspex up to the semi-colon out loud it will clearly be stressed along with the word "it".

Similar to the whole excerpt for A Psalm of Life it could be inferred that the description of that segment is describing the the heart itself

My heart, I cannot still it,

Nest that had song-birds in it;

And when the last shall go,

The dreary days, to fill it,

Instead of lark or linnet,

Shall whirl dead leaves and snow.

— “Auspex”

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,

And our hearts, though stout and brave,

Still, like muffled drums, are beating

Funeral marches to the grave.

— “A Psalm of Life“
