Question

like white moths trembling on the tropic air,
or waters of the hills that softly flow
gracefully falling down a shining stair.

and when the fields and streets are covered white
and the wind - worried void is chilly, raw,
or underneath a spell of heat and light
the cheerless frozen spots begin to thaw,

like me youll long for home, where birds glad song
means flowering lanes and leas and spaces dry,
and tender thoughts and feelings fine and strong,
beneath a vivid silver - flecked blue sky.

but oh! more than the changeless southern isles,
when spring has shed upon the earth her charm,
youll love the northland wreathed in golden smiles
by the miraculous sun turned glad and warm.

which of these does the speaker believe the reader will do?

○ hate experiencing the cold

○ be suspicious of the snow flurries

○ miss the south

○ prefer the snow flurries to the sun

Explanation:

The poem mentions longing for home (implied as a place like the South with "flowering lanes" etc.) when the fields are covered white (cold, wintry scene). The line "Like me you'll long for home" suggests a sense of missing a place (the South). The other options: There's no indication of hating the cold (just describing it), no suspicion of snow flurries, and the last stanza talks about loving the Northland when the sun makes it glad and warm (so not preferring snow flurries to sun).

Answer:

miss the South
