7
Which of the statements below describes a theme from the poem?
A. Dragons are mystical beings that symbolize awe.
B. Human achievement will help society to persevere.
Before dawn the silent pines
Erupt like bated breath. Lift
off. The cedars rattle,
Vostok's capsule clambers
Up the tall victory column.
Somewhere above soft cover
An amber dragon bays chase.
Gagarin in his brave headdress,
leaps first over the damp wall
of a pale, purple prison.
C. Feelings of dread can force people to achieve less.
D. Space travel will allow humans to reach world peace.
