Answer:

The ravages of war best describes the theme of “Beat! Beat! Drums!” Here, the correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Walt Whitman’s poem “Beat! Beat! Drums!” has warfare as one of its major themes. The  speaker though doesn’t talk about war directly but the poem is on the American Civil War.  The poem doesn’t throw light on the images of battlefields, bullets and bloodshed but what  focuses on the effects of war which are seen away from the battlefield. It talks about the  disruptions it causes and how it leaves no one unaffected. The beating of the drums and  bugles spreads the news of war to the American people which can't be explained, stopped or  controlled. It can only be paid attention to.
