Question

from “A Bird Came Down the Walk”
by Emily Dickinson
1 A bird came down the walk:
2 He did not know I saw;
3 He bit an angle-worm in halves
4 And ate the fellow, raw.
5 And then he drank a dew
6 From a convenient grass,
7 And then hopped sidewise to the wall
8 To let a beetle pass.

Which of the following is the best paraphrase of lines 5 and 6? (1 point)
A bird was thirsty, so it drank some water.********
The grass was wet from rain water, so a bird decided to drink some of it.
Conveniently, there was dewy grass.
A bird drank a drop of water from a nearby blade of grass

Answer 1

I disagree.

Answer 2

well I was choosing between a and b or c

Answer 3

Does “thirsty” appear in those 2 lines?
Is dew the same as rain water?
C says nothing about the bird drinking from the grass.

Read and reread those two lines, and then chose the one that is closest to them.
