Select the correct text in the passage.

In which set of lines in this excerpt from T. S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" does the speaker compare himself to an insect?

Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
**And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent**

The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes
**Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,**
Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
And seeing that it was a soft October night,
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep

And I have known the eyes already, known them all—
The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,
**And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,**
Then how should I begin
To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
And how should I presume?

** And would it have been worth it, after all,
After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,
Among the porcelain,** among some talk of you and me,
Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
...
If one, settling a pillow by her head,
Should say: "That is not what I meant at all;
That is not it, at all."

Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous; Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;

** are the choices

Read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." and indeed there will be time to wonder, “do i dare? ” and, “do i dare? ” time to turn back and descend the stair, with a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [they will say: “how his hair is growing thin! ”] my morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, my necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— [they will say: “but how his arms and legs are thin! ”] do i dare disturb the universe? in a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. which lines indicate that the speaker is concerned about what others think of him?
