Question

read \we outgrow love like other things\ by emily dickinson.
we outgrow love like other things
and put it in the drawer,
till it an antique fashion shows
like costumes grandsires wore.

which is true about the underlined word?

○ the word \antique\ means \old - fashioned,\ which
implies the poet must be a senior citizen.

○ the word \antique\ suggests love is outdated, which
creates a tone of disappointment.

○ the word \antique\ describes something expensive,
which sets a mood of prosperity.

○ the word \antique\ means \an ancient object,\
which creates an old - world setting.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: The poem is about outgrowing love, not about the poet's age. So the idea that "antique" implies the poet is a senior citizen is incorrect.
2. Analyze the second option: The poem says we outgrow love and put it away until it shows as an "antique fashion". "Antique" here means old - fashioned, so love is presented as outdated. This creates a tone of disappointment as love is treated like something that becomes old - fashioned and is put away.
3. Analyze the third option: The word "antique" does not mean expensive. The poem is about love being outgrown, not about prosperity related to cost.
4. Analyze the fourth option: The word "antique" in the context of "antique fashion" refers to a fashion that is old - fashioned, not an ancient object. Also, the setting is not an old - world setting in the sense of a historical place, but about the nature of love.

Answer:

The word "antique" suggests love is outdated, which creates a tone of disappointment.
