Answer 2

Answer:

The poet uses imagery to explain what is occurring. Here, "gates of the sun" refers to the place from where the sun arrives. The sun always rises in the east direction, hence, the direction more than anything can be referred to as the "gates of sun". Hence. option B is correct.

Option A is incorrect as the sun may not be seen as arriving from behind the hills in the plains or when viewed from the beach for instance.

Options C and D are nonsensical as the sun does not arrive through streets or through a particular town.
