Question

Read the excerpt from "A Day for Wandering" by Clinton Scollard. I set apart a day for wandering; I heard the woodlands ring, The hidden white-throat sing, And the harmonic West, Beyond a far hill-crest, Touch its Aeolian string. “Aeolian string” refers to a harp-like instrument that plays when it is placed in the wind. Based on this definition, which statement best describes the speaker’s view of the wind?

Answer 1

b)the wind is melodic

Answer 2

The definition itself hints the answer obviously. The author describes his trip and his amazement with the chant of the nature. And he describes the sound that wind makes as it touches to Aeolioan harp. The lines has such a melodic tone where the author views the wind as a pleasurable melody.
