Answer 1

The correct answer to this question is d) Narrator's mother and her cousins​.

Explanation:

• The poem “A Photograph” is a homage to the poet’s mother.  

• She is staring at an old photograph of her mother that has a frame made up of cardboard.  

• The picture has three girls, of whom the middle one is the tallest and oldest.

• It is her mother when she was about twelve years old. Alongside her, are her two cousins, Betty and Dolly, who are grasping her hands and are smaller than her.  

• They went to a beach on a holiday for paddling. Her uncle clicked the photograph then.
