Question

excerpt from \stopping by woods on a snowy evening\ (robert frost) my little horse must think it queer to stop without a farmhouse near between the woods and frozen lake the darkest evening of the year. he gives his harness bells a shake to ask if there is some mistake. the only other sounds the sweep of easy wind and downy flake. which of the following gives the meaning of the highlighted section? he shakes his harness bells like hes asking if i made a mistake. he shakes his bells because he is feeling merry and jolly today. he can only talk to me using bells and shaking very hard.

Explanation:

The highlighted lines "He gives his harness bells a shake / To ask if there is some mistake" suggest that the horse shakes its bells as if querying if an error has been made. The other options do not align with the literal and metaphorical meaning of the lines.

Answer:

He shakes his harness bells like he's asking if I made a mistake.
