The correct answer is B.
Poems are not like diaries, even if they are written in the first person. This means that the "I" in a poem is not the voice of the poet, but rather is the voice of a whole other character, the speaker (who is equivalent to the narrator of a novel). Each poem will have its own distinct speaker, which accounts for the different views of spring in this question.
Answer: Take it one step at a time. Annotations are up to you. Highlight words and phrases that you find interesting, or peculiar and , as the directions state: Label "Question" if you wonder why the author used it, or you might want to find the definition or ask others about their interpretation. Label "Track" if the phrase or sentence is like evidence for how the plot, characterization or theme is developing. Label "Response" If you have a reaction-- like "This narrator is showing signs of insanity. Eight nights sneaking in to look in on an old man sleeping. He's crazy!"
Explanation: I see the word "steadily" highlighted. You might question why the word is repeated. Is it to establish a rhythm-- like the narrator's own heartbeat?
There is no exactly right answer to this. The only mistake is not to try.
Good Luck-- and enjoy the story, IF you can imagine yourself in the scenario!
