Read the original poem excerpt. 1 At the border stone, welcome became a question. 2 The guards leaned on their spears. 3 A red flower grew in no one's country. What does the caesura in line 1 help the reader notice?
A
It states a moral lesson directly instead of shaping the reader's experience of the line.
B
It speeds the line forward without any interruption, removing tension from the moment.
C
It merely marks the end of a sentence and has no effect on rhythm or meaning.
D
It pauses at the boundary marker before transforming welcome into uncertainty, showing how place alters meaning.
