After analyzing the speaker in the passage from "Mending Wall," we can say the following about what is revealed:
D. He isn't taking the task seriously.
<h3>The speaker in "Mending Wall"</h3>
"Mending Wall" is a poem by Robert Frost in which the speaker and his neighbor fix a stone wall that separates their properties. The neighbor thinks the wall is important, but the speaker thinks it is utterly unnecessary.
The speaker is clearly not taking the task seriously. He describes the repair of the wall as an "outdoor game," as if he and the neighbor were just children having fun. He even goes as far as talking of using "a spell to make [the stones] balance."
Taking the information above into consideration, we can select letter D as the correct option.

The type of edit to direct quotes which is inappropriate is the following one:
Correcting errors in the quote.
Explanation:
If it is a direct quote, it is supposed to be as genuine as possible, that is, the essence of what was said by that particular person must be kept, and that includes not only what was said, but also how it was said- errors and all.
Eg: Let's say you want to quote Joker (played by Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight") and you write:
As said by Joker: "Why <u>are you</u> so serious?"
In the example above, the essence of the original quote was lost, since the omission of verb and subject (Why so serious?) was what gave the classic quote its mysterious charm. So, it is best to keep it the way it actually is:
As said by Joker: "Why so serious?"
