Curled at his breast, he sits there while the sun

Stripes the red west
With its last light: the chipmunk
Dives to his rest.
Which statement does not explain how the stanza helps create meaning in the poem?

The image of the chipmunk "dive[ing] to his rest" shows that the chipmunk is sluggish and unmotivated.

The description of the sunset describes the coloration of the chipmunk.
PLS HELP! ASAP!
The line lengths vary, which suggests the chipmunk's movement: quickly running, then stopping and watching for danger.

The last lines explain that the chipmunk hides out from danger once the sun sets, shedding light on his behavior.
