Question

Read these lines from Emily Evilinson's "Cobwebs":

The spider as an artist
Has never been employed
Though his surpassing merit
Is freely certified

By every broom and Bridget
Throughout a Christian land
Neglected son of genius,
I take thee by the hand.


According to the poem, how does the narrator feel about spiders?

Awed and impressed
Fearful and disgusted
Neglected and unimportant
Indifferent and unafraid

Answer 4

Yes, you're correct.

You could eliminate B because none of the lines in the poem described the feeling of being disgusted, same towards C and D, the author didn't describe the feeling of unimportance or indifference.

The answer would be A because the author described awe and the fact that he/she was impressed in the first line "The spider as an artist" and where it says "Neglected son of genius"
