B
The word “antique” suggests love is outdated, which creates a tone of disappointment.
C
The word “antique” describes something expensive, which sets a mood of prosperity.
D
The word “antique” means “an ancient object,” which creates an old-world setting.
Explanation
“Antique” suggests something old-fashioned and no longer in use. By comparing love to an antique costume stored in a drawer, the speaker presents love as something outgrown and outdated, creating a tone of disappointment. The word does not show that the poet is a senior citizen or establish a prosperous mood.
