Answer:

The sentence that best describes how the speakers in "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass" and "The Black Snake" view snakes is "The speaker in "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass" is afraid of snakes, while the speaker in "The Black Snake" is not."

Step-by-step explanation:

Both poems use a snake as a symbol of different things, in "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass" we see the description of the snake from the view of a child, and it is presented like something that could be mistaken by other things, while the person in "The Black Snake" sees the snake as a representation of the cycle of life, and feels sorry for the dead snake as well as a bit of sympathy.
