PLS HELP! ASAP!

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.

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.
