Have a BEAUTIFUL day~

The correct answer is B. By comparing humans to clouds

Explanation:

"Mutability" is the name of a poem by the English writer Percy Bysshe Shelley published in 1816, that consist on four different stanzas in which the author explores the way human nature and human life is ephemeral, but also linked to mutability or transformation. This can be seen in the first stanza of the poem, which has been presented in the question considering the author compares human beings to clouds "We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon" and states human beings are similar to clouds because clouds and people move and change "How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver". However, in both cases, the movement and mutability end in the case of clouds it occurs as night beings and in the case of humans it occurs with death, therefore Shelley conveys the idea that humans are constantly moving and changing mainly "by comparing humans to clouds".

yup its an addiction
