Answer 1

What the line "the restless, wind-tossed forest of fiddle necks and bows" suggests is the following:

A. Cather compares the fiddle necks and bows to the branches of trees in the wind, creating a wild landscape of movement.

• This question refers to the short story "A Wagner Matinée" by Willa Siberth Cather.

• At a certain point in the story, Clark takes his aunt, Georgina, to a concert. This is when the orchestra is described, and the metaphorical line we are analyzing her is used.

• The metaphor consists in comparing the fiddle necks and the bows to a "wind-tossed forest." In other words, the author is comparing their movement to the movement of branches in the wind.

• Such a metaphor creates a sense of wild landscape of movement, as we imagine the bows and fiddle necks swaying harmoniously as if touched by the wind.

With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.
