Question: 262
3. In line 5, the author most probably refers to the woods as "haunted" in order to
- A. make the narrator seem foolish and superstitious
- B. hint at the narrator's acceptance of death
- C. reveal the narrator's belief in spirits
- D. indicate the woods were filled with memories
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. The author’s choice of the word haunted, which means “inhabited by the spirit of people and times gone by,” serves to underscore the idea of memories of friendships past. Choices A and B do not fit the poem at all. Choice C reflects one meaning of the word haunted, but misses the point that the poem is about memories, not spirits.
