Question

Read the poem.

The house was silent
The sky was dim
Until slim rays
Stretched high
Then morning arrived
Fluttering heavy lids
And opening eyes.

Which words create an order of events in the poem?

“silent” and “sky”
“until” and “then”
“high” and “arrived”
“morning” and “eyes”

Answer 1

The words that create an order of events in the poem are “until” and “then.” "Until" indicates a moment leading up to a change, and "then" suggests the subsequent moment following that change. This sequence highlights the transition from silence and dimness to the arrival of morning.
