Question

Read the poem.

Readers can conclude that the speaker does not consider gathering leaves to be hard work.

Highlight the lines that best convey this idea.

Answer 1

Spades take up leaves no better than spoons, and bags full of leaves are light as balloons.

Make sure to highlight that entire line.

Answer 2

"and bags full of leaves are light as balloons."

Step-by-step explanation:
Balloons are generally considered to be light as they are filled with air, often times helium which is buoyant in our atmosphere. Saying that the leaves are light as balloons implies that the weight of the leaves is completely negligible, thus gathering them must not be hard work.
