Question

Read the poem "Autumn" by Emily Dickinson.
The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.

The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.
Which statement best explains the central idea of the second stanza?
1. Autumn weather requires warm clothing.
2. Autumn is a time for celebrations.
3. Nature changes the temperature in autumn.
4. Nature has an elegant appearance in autumn.

Answer 1

Answer: 4. Nature has an elegant appearance in autumn.

Explanation:

In her poem, Emily Dickinson describes the nature in autumn. She explains that the trees and fields have changed and are now more colorful than during summer. The field is wearing a scarlet dress, the maple ''a gayer scarf''. She metaphorically describes colors of the leaves and trees as clothes. In the last line, Dickinson states that she should also change her clothes, or she will be considered old-fashioned.
