question 2 of 3
why does the horse shake the harness bells?
a it is nervous that it will never find the village.
b it is scared and afraid of the dark.
c it is excited to be out in the woods on a snowy
day.
d it does not understand why they have stopped.

Explanation:

In Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, the horse is accustomed to routine stops (like at farmhouses). Stopping in a remote, uninhabited spot between woods and a frozen lake confuses it, so it shakes its harness bells to signal confusion about the unexpected stop.

Answer:

D. It does not understand why they have stopped.
