Question

Life in the City

Skyscrapers tower over the city,
Casting tall shadows when it is sunny.
A smattering of trees adds some color
Amid steel bricks one after another.
Car horns sound loudly as rush hour nears.
Streetlights flicker as the sun disappears.
You may detest the urban life you see,
But there’s no other place I’d rather be.

1. Which best states a theme of the poem?
Nature should be appreciated and protected.
What is ugly to one may be beautiful to another.
It is important to experience life in the city.
Peace and comfort is impossible to find in the city.

No, neither of those.
The word "detest" means to hate something... so while one may hate urban life, the narrator states that "there's no other place I'd rather be", meaning he loves the place and finds beauty in it.
