Muy vs. Mucho

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Hard of Spanish

During a class of Spanish literature, a Brazilian student in the 2nd year of high school comes across a passage from a poem by Federico García Lorca and is challenged to reflect on the correct use of 'muy' and 'mucho' to express different degrees of intensity in her own compositions. Next, in the poem 'Romance de la luna, luna', the passage is presented: 'La luna vino a la fragua con su polisón de agua. El niño la mira, mira. El niño la está mirando. En el aire conmovido mueve la luna sus brazos, y muestra lúbrica y pura sus senos de duro estaño'. For the student, who is also passionate about poetry, it is crucial to understand how the use of 'muy' and 'mucho' could alter the intensity of the meaning expressed in the poem excerpt, considering the context in which the moon is described. Based on the analysis of the passage and the concepts of intensity in Spanish, what would be the most appropriate choice to replace or complement any part of the text without altering the original meaning of the poem, taking into account the distinct grammatical functions of the words in question?
a.
The most appropriate choice to complement the passage of the poem without altering the original meaning, maintaining the intensity of the expressed meaning, would be to use 'muy lúbrica' or 'muy pura', provided that there is adequate restructuring of the verse to maintain the fluidity and harmony of the poem.
b.
La luna vino a la fragua con su polisón de mucha agua. El niño la mira, mira mucho. En el aire conmovido mueve la luna sus brazos, y mucho muestra lúbrica y pura sus senos de duro estaño.
c.
La luna vino a la fragua con su polisón de mucha agua, mostrando lúbrica y pura sus senos de duro estaño.
d.
El niño la mira, mira muy. El niño la está mirando muy.
e.
En el aire muy conmovido mueve la luna sus brazos, mostrando lúbrica y pura sus senos de duro estaño.
