Question: 307
5. Which of the following best describes the main idea of the poem?
- A. The speaker is distracted by the children's mischievous activities.
- B. The speaker cherishes the time of day when he can break from his work and play with his children.
- C. A poet depicts the games of children who inhabit an imaginary fortress.
- D. The children are scheming of ways to attack their captor and escape the castle.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B The Children's Hour is the time of night when there "comes a pause in the day's occupations." During this time, the children come to play with their father—a time they all enjoy. The poem is not about a story he tells them or a description of an imaginary game the children play.
