Answer 2

Answer:

B. her own.

Explanation:

In this poem by Emily Dickinson, the speaker takes a beautiful and ethereal trip beyond life, into eternity. In the poem, death is a male character that is driving the speaker in a carriage. They pass several things along the way, like a school and children playing, or an open field. In their trip they also pass a house that is described like some sort of grave —strictly speaking, they actually pause before the house: One is led to interpret that the house is actually the speaker´s grave.
