Answer :

In "The Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot, the image that suggests the corruption of modern life is: d. "This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms" This image conveys the idea of decay, ruin, and the collapse of once-great civilizations. The phrase "broken jaw" symbolizes the shattered or weakened foundation of the kingdoms, highlighting their downfall. This vivid imagery reflects the theme of emptiness and spiritual bankruptcy prevalent throughout the poem, depicting the desolation and moral decay of the modern world.
