The stanza mentions that nobody can do certain things for the speaker, such as getting into their clothes, feeling their fall, doing their running, or hearing their music. One interpretation of this stanza is that people generally do not care about other people's real feelings. Therefore, the correct answer is option C: People do not care about other people's real feelings.
2. To answer this question, you need to consider the theme of the poem and why the use of an image of a photocopy machine is interesting in relation to that theme. Analyze the characteristics of photocopy machines and their potential relevance to the theme. In this case, photocopy machines reproduce the same images, making those images the opposite of unique. Since the theme of the poem emphasizes the value of individuality and uniqueness, the choice of a photocopy machine as an image is interesting because it represents the opposite of what the poem is advocating for. Therefore, the correct answer is option B: Photocopy machines reproduce the same images, making those images the opposite of unique.
