1. Which of the following best describes actions of the children?

  • A. soft and sweet
  • B. grave and laughing

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C The children are planning to ambush the speaker (their father) who is working.

Plotting and planning are the main actions of the children since the trick they are playing on their father is the main action in the poem.
