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

“until” and “then”

They signal the sequence—“until” shows a change point and “then” marks the next event (morning arriving).
