Question

How does the wind sleep?

• A. Like a tired child
• B. Like an angry child
• C. Like the child of dawn
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Like a tired child

The poet says that the wind sleeps "in the arms of dawn like a child that has cried all night". The simile "like a child that has cried all night" refers to a child who is obviously tired. So, in this context, option A is the best answer. Wind sleeps in the arms of dawn but poet mentions nothing about it being dawn's child; there is no mention of an angry child- this eliminates all the other options except A.
