Mate your mot funny

I think your all wrong it's definitely a for the first question. Also, who is Ms Sue?

I disagree with both of your answers.

The literal meaning of the poem "Choose" by Carl Sandburg is a person deciding whether to greet someone with an open hand or a clenched fist. This can be deduced from the lines "The single clenched fist lifted and ready, Or the open asking hand held out and waiting." The poem presents these two gestures as choices that can determine the nature of our interactions with others.

As for the deeper, symbolic meaning of the "choice" in the poem, the best choice to complete the sentence would be: A. enemies or friends. The clenched fist could symbolize aggression, conflict, and hostility, representing the choice to be enemies. On the other hand, the open hand represents openness, trust, and kindness, symbolizing the choice to be friends. The poem suggests that our interactions with others can be shaped by the choices we make: to approach others with aggression or with openness.
