Answer 1

d) Ozymandias’ passions

Step-by-step explanation:

From Ozymandias, the poet Percy B Shelly refers to the King Ozymandias and his passions in line 8 when he says “The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed”.

He makes the reference based on the sculptor's hands that has mocked or made jest of the passions of King Ozymandias' heart and sculpted the stone so perfectly.

By 'the heart that fed', the poet makes reference to Ozymandias' feelings and passions that has provided the sculptor with the emotions he carved. It means quite simply that the sculptor or artist accurately interpreted the passions on Ozymandias' face and sculpted them on the statue.
