Answer 2

The answer is (b) temporary situation

• In the poem "the photograph" the poetess describes her emotions while looking at her mother's photograph with her cousins. She was the eldest of all.
• It was a photo of her childhood where all the cousins stood on a beach all dressed up with the sea waves washing their feet.
• The poetess uses the phrase "terribly transient feet" to represent the mortality and transient existence of humans.
• Transient means temporary and so is a human life. Due to its business and fast pace, we never learn how the times pass by and we lose our loved ones.
• Therefore the phrase represents the temporary situation (of human life)
