Answer:

(c) No i don't think the poet is heroic.
Explanation:
These questions are taken from Confessions of A Born Spectator which is written by Ogden Nash .
This modest of bodies speaks for the poet's spirit in real thanksgiving. He is relieved that his unassuming physique does not resemble a sportsperson who is frequently wounded. He addresses the athletes, offering them a drink or wishing them luck and success. He will do anything but compete with them, including eating with them.
(a) The sponsors summon the medical staff from the stands to treat a seriously injured and bleeding athlete.
(b) The poet amdires competitive athletes in the poem .
(C) I don't view the poet/narrator as heroic. A hero is someone who takes on any task, acts on it, and perseveres through the struggle. The narrator is content to watch heroic and violent games as an outsider.
