Poem excerpt:
The first snow arrives like a rumor,
thin, hesitant, quickly believed.
Cars wear it on their roofs like bad advice.
I watch from my desk, pretending to work,
while my inbox fills with urgent nothing.
Outside, the world rewrites itself in white margins.
How does the poet's control of metaphor unify the poem's two settings (office and outdoors)?
A) By comparing snow to paperwork, the poet connects "inbox" and "white margins" to suggest revision and emptiness
B) By using unrelated metaphors, the poet emphasizes chaos
C) By focusing only on weather, the poet eliminates the office setting
D) By using a single cliché, the poet ensures the poem is easy but shallow
