Which of the following lines from the poem provide the most direct description of the old couple?

A. But keep on putting on their clothes

And putting things away.

B. Remembering, with twinklings and twinges,

As they lean over the beans in their rented back room

C. They eat beans mostly, this old yellow pair.

Dinner is a casual affair.

D. Two who are Mostly Good.

Two who have lived their day

Two who are mostly good two who have lived their day

Option D. The following lines from the poem provide the most direct description of the old couple:

Two who are Mostly Good.

Two who have lived their day,

Explanation:

These lines are the most direct descriptions of the old couple as they are explicitly describing them as old ("two who have lived their day") and as good people ("Two who are Mostly Good). While the other options presented are also lines from the poem that describe the couple, they do not do it in a direct or explicit way, but in an indirect and implicit one.
