Question

Use the poem below to answer the following questions:
Hope is the thing with feathers by Emily Dickinson
"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm -
I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
Which image from the poem best illustrates the poet's comparison of hope to a bird?
(1 point)
• "And never stops - at all -"
"And sings the tune without the words -"
• "And sore must be the storm-"
"l've heard it in the chillest land -"

Answer 1

"And sings the tune without the words -"

This line most clearly uses a bird image (singing a tune) to represent hope, showing it as a persistent, wordless song like a bird.
