Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;

5 To stay at home is best.

Sagot :

Answer:

D

Explanation:

It is not answer B or answer C as they both have option A stated and option A is not properly written as well as untrue to the poem. It is also not answer A because although it is true that he uses informal language in line two, it is not the best way to describe the poets word choice leaving the last choice as answer D. Option C and D are both true to the poets poem as well as relevant to describing his word choice.
