Read the following poem and answer the question that follows. "I Like to See It Lap the Miles" by Emily Dickinson I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up, And stop to feed itself at tanks; And then, prodigious, step Around a pile of mountains, And, supercilious, peer In shanties by the sides of roads; And then a quarry pare (To fit its sides, and crawl between, Complaining all the while In horrid, hooting stanza; Then chase itself down hill) this one is bolded And neigh like Boanerges; Then, punctual as a star, Stop-docile and omnipotent- At its own stable door. This poem describes a train as if it were a horse. Examine the imagery of the stanza in bold. What does it describe? a The rumbling a train makes as it passes by b The smell of train tracks after a train has gone c The sound a train makes as it blows its horn d The feeling of being on a train for a vacation
