In "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus", Williams mentions "a splash quite unnoticed.” Which words from Auden’s "Musée des Beaux Arts" best illustrate this idea of people’s distraction and indifference?

Williams’s phrase “a splash quite unnoticed” suggests that people continue with ordinary activities instead of paying attention to Icarus’s fall. Auden’s words “walking dully along” convey that same distracted indifference: people go on walking without noticing what has happened. The other choices do not describe people ignoring the event.
