Select the correct text in the passage. Read “The Railway Train” by Emily Dickinson. Which line best reflects the train’s playful nature?
I like to see it lap the miles,
And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
A.)And then, prodigious, step

Around a pile of mountains,
B.)And, supercilious, peer
In shanties by the sides of roads;
And then a quarry pare

To fit its sides, and crawl between,
Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
C.)Then chase itself down hill

And neigh like Boanerges;
Then, punctual as a star,
D.)Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.
