Question

Read the passage from "It Sifts from Leaden Sieves": It makes an Even Face Of Mountain, and of Plain-- Which best interprets the purpose of this imagery?
A: It creates an image of the snow falling uniformly like a blanket.

B: It shows that snow is falling slowly.

C: It creates an image of a human face.

D: It shows that snow is falling heavily.

Answer 1

A: It creates an image of the snow falling uniformly like a blanket. This meaning is suggested by "it makes an even face" of both mountain and plain. I guess one could say that the snow softens the features of both mountain and plain and therefore "makes an even face".
