which best describes one of the themes in \mending wall\ by robert frost?
a. having ones own space is important to maintain sanity.
b. people often put up barriers out of habit.
c. neighbors can only help each other when they communicate.
d. a lot can be accomplished when people work together.

Explanation:

In "Mending Wall," the neighbor repeatedly insists "Good fences make good neighbors" without a clear practical reason, embodying the theme that people maintain social/physical barriers out of ingrained habit, not necessity. The other options do not align with the poem's core focus on unexamined habitual barrier-building.

Answer:

B. People often put up barriers out of habit.
