Question

read the stanza from the poem \the voice\ by william oandasan.

jolting my dream
an old man struggling
with an eel his coat appears
disheveled and empty

what is the meaning of the word disheveled as it is used in the poem?

bulky

unusual

untidy

ripped

Explanation:

In the poem, the word describes the old man's coat as he struggles with an eel. "Disheveled" typically refers to something that is messy, unkempt, or out of order. Among the options, "untidy" is the closest match, as "bulky" refers to size, "unusual" means not common, and "ripped" means torn, none of which fit the context of a coat affected by struggling with an eel.

Answer:

C. untidy
