Select the correct text in the passage.

Which line in this excerpt from Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall” suggests that the speaker and his neighbor are quite different?
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours."
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
"Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down."

Answer:

"He is all pine and I am apple orchard."

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this line suggests that the speaker and his neighbor are quite different. This is first pointed out when we find the speaker and the neighbor own very different types of tree. But that's not all; I believe it goes deeper than just the difference between their trees. Let's first take a look at the pine tree. Pine trees have pokey needles and sharp-spined pine cones, which may be a reference to the neighbor's attitude. Whereas apple orchards bear sweet apples, much like the speaker's attitude in this excerpt.
