Answer:
The inference that can be drawn from "To Autumn" is:
A. Autumn is a peaceful and abundant season, full of natural beauty.
The evidence that supports the answer in Part A is:
A. "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness . . . Conspiring . . . how to lead and bless With fruit the vines . . . And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core."
Explanation:
John Keats was an English Romantic poet, born in 1795, dead in 1821 at the age of only 25. In his poem "To Autumn", Keats describes the season with vivid imagery, praising its abundance. Especially in the first stanza, Keats describes in detail how fruitful autumn is - how fruits and flowers are abundant. They grow ripe, succulent and sweet, thanks to blessed autumn. Keats does not describe autumn as being inferior to spring. Quite the contrary, he says both seasons have their songs. He also describes the transition from autumn to winter beautifully, peacefully. There is no sadness in his description, but the very opposite, with images of noisy animals, rivers, and winds.
I think either excited or confused. Since the first sentence is well, with an exclamation point, I guess I would lean towards excited. It would help to know more of the story.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) uses a fine humor style which is easily detected in extracts like:
<em>"Thish-yer Smiley had a mare; the boys called the fifteen minute nag(...) for all she was so slow and always had the asthma, or the distemper or the consumption, or something of that kind."</em>
<em>"...And he had a little small bull pup, that to look at him you´d think he warn´t worth a cent(...) his underjaw´d begin to stick out like the fo´castle of a steamboat..."</em>
<em>"...He ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal´klated to edercate him(...) and you bet you he did learn him, too.</em>
Twain is satirizing several aspects of American life, but specially the country "punks" who tend to speak at length about subjects that are close to them but are really unimportant an nonsensical.
