Answer 1

Answer:

B. Why did the people leave it behind?

• In Ode on a Grecian Urn, Keats describes a religious procession moving toward a sacrifice, and he wonders about the town that has been left empty because of this event.

• He raises the question of why the town is abandoned and what its fate will be. However, since the urn is a frozen moment in time, there are no answers—only speculation.
