This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
In the context of the poem, which image most fully reflects the speaker's disapproval of the neighbor's attitudes?
A. "gaps even two can pass abreast" (line 4)
B. "the boulders that have fallen" (line 16)
C. "He is all pine" (line 24)
D. "He moves in darkness" (line 41)
E. "the shade of trees" (line 42)
Answer:
I believe the image which most fully reflects the speaker's disapproval of the neighbor's attitudes is:
D. "He moves in darkness" (line 41)
Explanation:
The speaker in the poem "Mending Wall", by Robert Frost, is rebuilding a wall with his neighbor. However, he does not see the need for the wall. He believes the wall creates a separation and an isolation that are unnecessary. He wishes he could convey such thoughts to his neighbor, but that seems to be impossible. His neighbor believes "Good fences make good neighbors." The speaker does not like this saying nor the neighbor's attitude. He would much rather at least consider what he is " walling in or walling out." That is why he sees the neighbor as if he is moving in darkness. His neighbor is not as enlightened as he is. He is close-minded; a repeater of old patterns:
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father's saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
Answer:
The image reflecting the speaker's disapproval of the neighbor's attitudes is:
Option D: "He moves in darkness". (line 41)
Explanation:
As per the poem, the poet wants to remove the wall between him and his neighbor. This is because the poet believes that the wall creates separation and leads to isolation of each other. The poet wished that he could convey his thoughts to his neighbor, but felt it to be impossible, as the neighbor believes that the fences are good for having healthy relations with the neighbor. Therefore, the poet feels the neighbor be incorrect and seems as if the neighbor is moving in the darkness of life.
Option A. is incorrect as the disapproval of the neighbor's attitude does not show that he wants gaps between the two.
Option B. is incorrect as the line the boulders that have fallen is not in the context of the neighbor's attitude or his disapproval towards the speaker.
Option C. is incorrect, as He is all pine is denoted to the nature of neighbor, not towards his reaction for the disapproval.
Option E. is incorrect as the shades of trees are not written or mentioned in the context of the speaker's disapproval of the neighbor's attitude.
