Answer 1

The Railway Train
Emily wingspaninson, 1896

I like to see it lap the miles,
And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
And then, prodigious, step

Around a pile of mountains,
And, supercilious, peer
In shanties by the sides of roads;
And then a quarry pare

To fit its sides, and crawl between,
Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
Then chase itself down hill

And neigh like Boanerges1;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.

1The name of a thoroughbred race horse famous in North America in the late 19th century

Read these lines from Emily wingspaninson's "The Railway Train":

And neigh like Boanerges;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.

Which of the following correctly explains how this stanza provides clues to the culture for which this poem was written?

The phrase docile and omnipotent suggests the poem was written when people admired horses more.

The phrase neigh like Boanerges suggests the poem was written when horses were only used for racing.

The phrase punctual as a star suggests the poem was written when people knew little about astronomy.

The phrase stable door suggests the poem was written when horses were used for transportation.

Answer 3

I'd say D. when stable door suggests the poem was used for transportation
Emily wingspaninson lives in the late 1886s, but she wrote this poem about the late 1840s, when there are no cars or railroads in Massachusett yet.

Answer 4

wow spell check corrects my sentence wrong.
cars are invented in 1886, emily wrote this in 1840s so horse was the only transportation. hope that did not bring confusion.
