Answer:
(a) Running
(b) The eyes are swollen since the opposition hurt them.
(c) Onomatopoeia
Explanation:
(a) The poet is talking about the athlete running.
(b) The poet is a determined spectator. His own spirit is weak and shy. So he confesses that he is glad that he is neither a sportsman nor an athlete. He admires the talents of sportsmen and athletes who sweat for money or for pleasure. He derives satisfaction from watching the talents of all athletes, but does not wish to exchange places with them. The exchange of position with one of the athletes may please his ego. So whenever there is a conflict in the mind of the spectator between carefulness and self-centeredness, his carefulness always wins and he never opts for participation in any games or sports.
(c) Onomatopoeia is defined as a word which emulates the natural sounds of a thing. It creates a sound effect that imitate the thing described, making the description more expressive and interesting.
For example, saying, “The effusive stream flows in the forest” is a more important report than just like saying, “The brook flows in the forest.” The reader is drawn to hear the sound of a “effusive stream,” which makes the expression more effectual.
Onomatopoeia is the literary device used in this line. When the athletes run for the medal they get injured. The sounds come out of their parts of the body such as ‘snaps’ and ‘cracks’ are mentioned here.
