Question

Robert Frost carefully chooses words to set the tone of his poems. What words does he use to describe the buzz saw in “Out, Out—”?

1. It rolled and rotated.
2. It hummed and sang.
3. It snarled and rattled.
4. It moaned and complained.

Answer 1

C. It snarled & Rattled
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

3. It snarled and rattled.

The poem literally says in the first line "The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard." None of the other options are even in the poem. These words are examples of the sound device onomatopoeia. They sound the same as their meaning.
