Question

(1) the streets glow orange beneath the setting sun. people rushing home, their shadows long. taxi horns echo like a distant drum. yet i feel a calm, a quiet song. (2) smoke curls from bakeries, the smell of bread. windows light up as families settle in. even in the noise and the endless pace, the city feels alive, a rhythm ive grown to love. \morning in the countryside\ (1) dew clings to blades of grass in the early light. roosters crow, birds flit across the sky. a gentle breeze whispers through the open fields. and the world awakens softly, no need to hurry by. (2) smoke rises from distant chimneys, faint and sweet. children laugh as they run past the barn. in the quiet of the country, life moves slowly. and i am grateful for the peace it brings. 3. which statement shows a connection a reader could make between the two poems and personal experiences? people may notice how surroundings influence emotions and routines in their own lives. only poets notice details in the environment. city and country settings have no impact on daily experiences. readers should ignore sensory details in poems. clear all

People may notice how surroundings influence emotions and routines in their own lives.
