1. read line 11 from the passage.

to put a tree between us when he lighted,
what is the meaning of lighted as it is used in the line?
burned
chirped
illuminated
landed

Explanation:

In the context of the poem, the bird is described as moving in a way that creates a separation (putting a tree between them). "Lighted" here is used to describe the bird's action of coming to rest or alighting. "Burned" and "illuminated" relate to fire or light, which is not relevant to the bird's movement. "Chirped" is about sound, not movement. "Landed" best fits the idea of the bird coming to a position (putting the tree between them by landing in a certain spot).

Answer:

D. landed
