I will give a medal out to whoever helps me. What is the effect of the alliteration in the closing lines of "Ozymandias": "boundless and bare, / the lone and level sands stretch far away"? A. It focuses attention on the vast, empty space in which the statue is decaying. B. It brings the poem back to the sculptor's perspective. C. It stresses the challenges of life in the desert. D. It produces feelings of pity for the death of the king.

I'm not really too sure about this one, 'cause I'm caught between A and B. The last lines are known for the irony the poet brings about by bringing us back to reality, but it also shows the reality by focusing on the attention of the place where the statue is decaying. I'm leaning more towards A.
I think it's A as well
