Read both original passages, then answer the question. Passage I: Drama 1 [The leaf scrape continues outside the public pool. Mason holds the diving coin.] 2 MASON: There is still time. 3 REY: Time for what — to drop the coin into the drain, or to call delay a virtue? 4 [Mason looks toward the image of the blue chipped tiles and does not move.] 5 MASON: Time to know which word belongs to this. 6 [Rey turns toward the image of the blue chipped tiles, but does not answer.] 7 REY: I am watching. That is not the same as understanding. Passage II: Poem 1 Before the hand can drop the coin into the drain, 2 the public pool gathers itself around the diving coin. 3 There are the blue chipped tiles; 4 there is the leaf scrape working like a question in the air. 5 The speaker names Rey, then unnames the blame, 6 leaving the question of whether a place without use keeps its purpose bright and unresolved. 7 The place keeps saying Rey's name softly, 8 but the answer comes back changed by air. Which answer offers the most precise account of how genre controls what can be inferred about the question of whether a place without use keeps its purpose?
