Explanation:

In Selection 1, words like "waste", "disgust", and "no grace" convey a sorrowful tone. Since we don't have Selection 2 text, we focus on the tone - setting words in Selection 1 for Part A. For Part B, we need to find lines that match the identified tone in Part A. The lines "hyacinth - shadows black on the pavement" from Selection 1 give a somber and sorrowful feel which aligns with the tone identified in Part A.

Answer:

Part A: C
Part B: B
