Read the poem “Fog,” by Carl Sandburg. The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. Which lines from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" most likely influenced Sandburg’s poem?

Both poems describe something in the evening using the movements and features of a cat. In choice B, the yellow smoke rubs its muzzle, licks, and lingers; Sandburg similarly compares fog to a cat that comes on little feet, sits, and then moves on. The shared catlike imagery makes these lines the most likely influence.
