Question

in \mending wall,\ what is the figurative meaning of the speaker saying of his neighbor, \he moves in darkness as it seems to me\?
the speaker genuinely dislikes his neighbor.
the speaker believes his neighbors ideas are misguided.
the speaker thinks his neighbor is evil.
the speaker has turned his back on his neighbor.

Explanation:

In the poem "Mending Wall," the speaker's neighbor adheres to the old - fashioned idea that "good fences make good neighbors." The speaker, who questions this idea, uses the phrase "He moves in darkness as it seems to me" to imply that the neighbor is not seeing things clearly. This suggests the neighbor's ideas are misguided, rather than indicating genuine dislike, thinking the neighbor is evil, or having turned his back on the neighbor.

Answer:

The speaker believes his neighbor's ideas are misguided.
