Read the following poem and answer questions

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert…Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:

'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

What sort of a king was Ozymandias, according to the statue?

a cruel and powerful king

The correct answer is OPTION 2 - a cruel and powerful king

According to the statue, Ozymandias was a cruel and powerful king. This is indicated by the "sneer of cold command" on the shattered visage, which suggests arrogance and tyranny, as well as the boastful inscription that invites the mighty to "look on my works" and "despair," implying a sense of superiority and disdain for others.
