Question

He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father's saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, "Good fences make good neighbors."

Answer 1

Which best describes the theme revealed in this excerpt?


Fences can be more interesting than one’s neighbors.

Neighbors can understand one another with little words.

Some people prefer to stay disconnected from their neighbors.

Fences help people connect with their neighbors

Answer 2

I would say C. because the speaker and his neighbor seem to be disagreeing about whether it is necessary to have the wall there in the first place. The speaker thinks that there is no need for walls -- he notes that nature tries to knock them down. But the neighbor keeps insisting that "good fences make good neighbors"
