Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

A.K. Ramanujan's poetry repeatedly turns on time, memory and the persistence of the past, as in 'Small-Scale Reflections on a Great House', where whatever leaves the family house comes back to it, and 'Time and Time Again', built on a city's clock towers chiming out of step. Ezekiel's chief concerns are city life and self-scrutiny, R. Parthasarathy's are exile and the return to roots in Rough Passage, and Gieve Patel's are the body, violence and medicine.
