Which excerpt from Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias" refers directly to the title character?

" ... The loan and level sands stretch far away."

" ... Tells that its sculptor well its passions read ..."

"I met a traveler from an antique land/Who said ..."

" ... Two vast and trunkless legs of stone/Stand in the desert ..."

D ... Two vast and trunkless legs of stone/Stand in the desert ..."

The correct answer is D: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone / Stand in the desert ... "

The poem is actually discussing a great statue of the Egyptian pharoah Ramses II. The Greeks called Ramses by the name Ozymandias.

In the poem, a traveler tells the speaker about "two vast and trunkless legs of stone [that] stand in the desert ... " This description refers to the statue of Ramses, or Ozymandias, which is now damaged and in pieces.
