Read the poem excerpt below. In "Silt," the speaker describes returning to a river town after years away: 1 I came back when the river had learned new names, 2 when storefronts wore plywood like winter coats. 3 My mother's porch still tilted toward the water, 4 its steps soft as bread left out too long. 5 I watched the current carry a refrigerator door, 6 white as a sermon, downstream without a hymn. 7 The neighbors spoke of "progress" with their mouths full of dust, 8 and I nodded, tasting pennies on my tongue. Which choice provides the most relevant and sufficient evidence for the claim that the speaker views the town's "progress" as hollow and corrosive rather than hopeful?
