Question

Read the excerpt from "How I Learned English.”

Someone said "shin” again,
There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,
A kicking of feet, and the fit
Of laughter overtook me too,
And that was important, as important
As Joe Barone asking me how I was

The descriptions in this excerpt help readers imagine

how fast the boys are talking.
how dusty and hard the ground feels.
how loud the boys’ laughter and movements are.

Answer 1

Ok, so we can begin by eliminating option B because this isn't really describing the ground as the main point of this writing. Then, we can also get rid of option A because it doesn't really mention how fast they are speaking. So then, from C and D, which do you think ? Take not of the words being used-- "There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,A kicking of feet, and the fit Of laughter overtook me too," These are important to help determine the answer. Hope this helped (:
