Question

read the excerpt from \autumn\ by jean starr untermeyer.
great jars laden with the raw green of pickles,
standing in a solemn row across the back of the porch,
exhaling the pungent dill;
what does \laden\ mean in this context?
decorated
laid down
covered up
filled with

Explanation:

In the context of the poem, "Great jars laden with the raw green of pickles", the word "laden" is used to describe the jars having something inside them. "Filled with" makes the most sense as it indicates the jars contain pickles. "Decorated" would imply some form of adornment which isn't suggested here. "Laid down" and "covered up" don't fit the idea of what the jars are doing with the pickles.

Answer:

filled with
