Question

read \we outgrow love like other things\ by emily dickinson. we outgrow love like other things and put it in the drawer, till it an antique fashion shows like costumes grandsires wore. which is true about the underlined word? the word \antique\ means \old - fashioned,\ which implies the poet must be a senior citizen. the word \antique\ suggests love is outdated, which creates a tone of disappointment. the word \antique\ describes something expensive, which sets a mood of prosperity. the word \antique\ means \an ancient object,\ which creates an old - world setting.

Explanation:

In the poem, the word "antique" is used to describe love as something that has become outdated. The comparison to "costumes grandsires wore" further emphasizes the idea of something old - fashioned and no longer in use. This creates a tone of disappointment as love is seen as something that has lost its relevance.

• The first option is incorrect because just using the word "antique" does not imply the poet is a senior citizen.
• The third option is wrong as there is no indication in the poem that "antique" means expensive or sets a mood of prosperity.
• The fourth option is not accurate as the focus is not on creating an old - world setting but on the idea of love being outdated.

Answer:

The word "antique" suggests love is outdated, which creates a tone of disappointment.
