Question

Use the poem & then answer the question.

Morning paints the sky in streaks of gold,
Soft light spills across the land.
The breeze hums gently through the trees,
Brushing leaves with a careful hand.

Birds stitch songs into the air,
Notes floating high and low.
Dewdrops glitter on the grass,
Like tiny stars in a quiet row.

Soon the sun climbs bold and bright,
Chasing shadows far away.
The world stretches, wide awake,
To greet the warming day.

Which details in the poem suggest that the morning is peaceful and gentle?

Answer 1

Correct answers:
- Soft light spills across the land.
- The breeze hums gently through the trees.
- Dewdrops glitter in a quiet row.

Why: "soft light," a "gently" humming breeze, and "quiet" dewdrops all directly evoke calm, gentle, peaceful morning imagery. The other lines describe activity or brightness rather than quiet gentleness.
