yes that is the poem

Answer 3

"Mother <b>to</b> Son"

Which answer do you think is correct?

Answer 4

Yes, B.

Answer 5

They said that in the first post. Anyway,
A is not right because it talks about the mother getting through life, not that it was hard.
B is right because tacks and splinters refers to the hard things in her life.
C doesn't talk about how the mother's life was hard, and
D doesn't either. It talks about, again, that she got through the problems,

So, yes.
