The correct answer is the second choice: Dickinson's use of the word whip is serious and realistic, while Hubbel's use of whip is playful and imaginative

For instance, in Dickinson's poem, he describes the snake with fear. This is depicted by his use of the following:

- Tighter breather

- Whiplash

- Zero at the bone
