Something there is that doesn't love a wall,

That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
Whom does the speaker blame for the gaps in the wall?
O himself
O his neighbor
O nature and hunters
O rabbits and dogs
Mark this and retum

Final answer:

The speaker attributes the gaps in the wall to the forces of nature and hunters who disturb the stones while hunting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker in Robert Frost's Mending Wall blames both nature and hunters for the gaps in the wall. The poem describes the natural process of frost causing the ground to swell, which in turn pushes the boulders from the wall, and also notes that hunters, in pursuit of rabbits, have actively dismantled parts of it to get their game. The annual repair of the wall serves as a metaphor for the maintenance required in human relationships, yet the speaker also contemplates the questionable necessity of the wall's existence.
