Question

read the excerpt from \ghost house.\ i dwell in a lonely house i know that vanished many a summer ago, and left no trace but the cellar walls, and a cellar in which the daylight falls read the haiku. summer grass— all that’s left of warriors’ dreams. although they come from different cultures, the two poems are similar because they both discuss options: fear, happiness, hope, longing (options listed as fear, happiness, hope, longing on the right)

Explanation:

• In "Ghost House", the house vanished long ago, leaving only cellar walls, evoking a sense of what's left from the past.
• The haiku talks about summer grass being all that's left of warriors' dreams.
• "Longing" fits as both poems reflect on remnants of the past, creating a yearning or sense of loss for what once was. "Fear" is not present, "happiness" is opposite, "hope" isn't the focus—they're about what's left, not future hope.

Answer:

longing
