Question

select the best evidence to support the statement that the author describes spring as a restless time full of desires.
the mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring - cleaning his little home....till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weak arms. spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing. it was a small wonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush... and bolted out of the house.
from kenneth grahame, the wind in the willows

Explanation:

To support the statement that spring is a restless time full of desires, we analyze the text. The phrase "Spring was moving in the air... with its spirit of divine discontent and longing" shows spring's dynamic, restless nature (moving) and the sense of desire (discontent, longing) as it affects the Mole's home and his subsequent action of leaving work. This evidence connects spring to restlessness and desires.

Answer:

Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.
