On a close analysis of the poem “The Second Coming” by William Butler Yeats as given below, which of the given options describes the central idea of the poem? Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
A.
If the modern world does not have a Second Coming, it will come to a disastrous end.
B.
The modern world is so fractured that we are probably in store for a horrifying future.
C.
The modern world is one in which the new replaces the old at a very rapid pace.
D.
The modern world will have a Second Coming that will spawn monsters of destruction.
