Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct 
answer

Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only
because there was no other name for it. Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed
essays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subjects were varied:

animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations
that she found striking or insightful. She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed
in quotation marks, and sometimes identified in footnotes.

Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Lois. After graduation from
Bryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania. Later she became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920’s she was
editor of The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her life,
mostly in Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by

animals. Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers-before the team moved to Los Angeles-was
widely known.

Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends
associated with the Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read with

interest by succeeding generations of poets and readers. In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer
Prize for her Collected Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry for money or fame. To
earn a living is needful, but it can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has a
burning desire to objectify what it is indispensable to one's happiness to express.

Question 21: What is the passage mainly about? 
 A. Essayists and poets of the 1920's.

B. Marianne Moore's life and work. 
 C. The use of quotations in poetry.
