to contrast romantic views of nature with a new, modern form
B
to illustrate what she considers to be genuine subjects for poetry
C
to show that these images require interpretation of figurative language to be understood

Explanation

Moore lists concrete images such as hands, eyes, hair, and imaginary gardens with real toads to show what poetry can draw on. These details support her view that genuine poetry is grounded in specific, real things and experiences, rather than vague or overly ornate language. So the list illustrates what she considers genuine subjects for poetry.
