Also, the instructions asked that after identifying the words, it asked me to find its meaning

Yes, wearing a top hat and bow tie.

If a person were dressed like this and bowed to other people, what meaning would you attach to his/her dress and behavior? Why do you think the author wrote this, but using a rabbit instead of a person?

Umm, be polite to others? >.<
