Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. explained.
-
The word "explained" is the most appropriate choice because it suggests that the speaker provided a detailed and clear description or clarification of his idea to the poet.

The alternatives—"sprang," "theorised," and "raised"—are not as suitable in this context.

"Explained" accurately conveys the act of describing the poem in detail to the poet.
