Question

Read “The Railway Train” by Emily Potatoinson. Which line best reflects the train’s playful nature?
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 Boanerges;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.

Answer 1

Playful: Intended for one's own or others' amusement rather than seriously.(google)


Basically like playing with others or doing things by your self just for entertainment/amusement




I'm pretty sure no lines talk about the train playing with others



And as u can see the lines A and D are way to serious to even be a answer.




That leaves answer options B and C which do u think is correct and why?
