d. a dismal prospect of total devastation of the natural environment

The correct answer is C. The inevitable reality of mass destruction by a common enemy.

Explanation:

The Spiritus Mundi refers to a vision that the speaker of the poem has about the terrible destiny of people and the world. This vision features a sphinx (lion creature with a human head) that has spent 20 centuries in "stone sleep" and has awaken. In the second stanza of the poem this creature makes a spooky aparition: it is reeled by the "shadows of desert birds", and the speaker feels the darkness falling upon him. However, the speaker ignores the full identity of the creature. He/She is only certain that it is a "rough beast" that "shlouches towards Beethlem". This biblic refference implies that the sphinx is going to play the role of the second messiah (as Jesus is the first). Meaning, the creature is powerful and of divine origin (possibly the antichrist) yet it has dark intentions.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
