[B] Articulate silence
[C] Raw silk
[D] Stone roots
[E] A time to change
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct Answer :
B and E only
Solution :
The correct answer is B and E only.
To understand why this is correct, we can look at the authors of each poetry collection listed in the question:
• [A] River and bride (often referred to as River and Bridge, published in 1995) was written by Meena Alexander.
• [B] Articulate silence (published in 1970) was written by the Indian poet Shiv K. Kumar, not Meena Alexander.
• [C] Raw silk (published in 2004) was written by Meena Alexander.
• [D] Stone roots (published in 1980) was written by Meena Alexander.
• [E] A time to change (published in 1952) was the debut poetry collection of Nissim Ezekiel, not Meena Alexander.
Since collections [B] and [E] were written by Shiv K. Kumar and Nissim Ezekiel respectively, they are the collections that were not written by Meena Alexander. Therefore, the option "B and E only" is the correct choice.
