Question

Read the excerpt from the poem by Robert Frost.

THE well was dry beside the door,

And so we went with pail and can

Across the fields behind the house

To seek the brook if still it ran;

Not loth to have excuse to go,

Because the autumn eve was fair

(Though chill), because the fields

were ours,

And by the brook our woods were

there.

Which of these best explains how the narrator feels about his task?

He dreads the long, cold walk to the woods.
He is indifferent as this is a routine task.
He resents having to leave his warm home.
He is glad of a reason to enjoy the night air.
