“Harlem” What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?
Or fester like a sore—

Which sentence shows the meaning of the simile in this poem?

A deferred dream is terrifying.
A deferred dream is difficult.
A deferred dream is sickening.
A deferred dream is incomplete.
