It is A because

Explanation:

In the poem "To the Oracle at Delphi," Lawrence Ferlinghetti addresses the mythological figure of ancient Greece, the Oracle of Delphi, also known as the Sybil. The Sybil had the power to receive prophecy from the gods and pass it to mortals. These prophecies were often cryptic, but they were considered wise guidance. By addressing a mythological figure, Ferlinghetti connects the concept of the Sybil with the personification of art. He suggests that only art can awaken people from their corporate-induced conformity. By asking for guidance, he also creates the idea of a wiser "Golden Age" of ancient Greece, which he contrasts with the superficial, degraded modern age.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
