Read the excerpt from "A Day for Wandering" by Clinton Scollard.

Where interwoven branches spread a shade
Of soft cool beryl like the evening seas
Unruffled by the breeze.

Which is the best evidence from the poem that “beryl” means “green”?
spread a shade
Unruffled by the breeze
soft cool
like the evening seas

"like the evening seas"

Explanation: that simile links "beryl" to the color of the sea, giving a clear color image (bluish‑green), whereas the other phrases describe qualities (shade, cool, unruffled) not a specific color.
