Answer: b. Ashamed
Explanation:
Inspired by Edward Hopper's painting, "the House by the Railroad" (1925), Edward Hirsch wrote a poem <em>"Edward Hopper and the House by the Railroad."</em>
In his poem, Hirsch describes the house as having the expression of a person experiencing discomfort while being stared at. He characterizes the house as ashamed:
<em>"This house is </em><em>ashamed</em><em> of itself, </em><em>ashamed
</em>
<em>Of its fantastic mansard rooftop
</em>
<em>And its pseudo-Gothic porch, </em><em>ashamed
</em>
<em>of its shoulders and large, awkward hands."</em>
The house is all empty, there are no trees around it, no trains pass by it, and the author assumes that the house probably did something bad to its residents to deserve such treatment.
