Question

a mother cries

which line from the poem best illustrates that the wolf mother is not alone in her pain?
○ the wolf howls in the darkness
○ the moon casts down its sympathy
○ an angry mother, ready to kill
○ her legs swift, much faster than the hunter

Explanation:

The question seeks a line showing the wolf mother is not alone in her pain. The first line only describes her howl in isolation. The third focuses on her anger, and the fourth on her speed. Only the second line introduces another entity (the moon) expressing sympathy, indicating she has a source of shared feeling.

Answer:

B. The moon casts down its sympathy
