ANSWER QUICK PLZZZ

Answer 1

* by recreating the speakers experience of moving through an active city scene

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poem, Midday and Afternoon by Amy Lowell, the repeated use of -ing in the line above was used by the poet to portray the active nature of the city. The line exemplifies rhyming.

It impresses on the reader the different styles and natures of movement that were obtainable in the city. Some feet were skipping, lagging, others plodding, dragging, etc. The city was dynamic.
