The poem is about the winter landscape and the arrival of spring.
Explanation:
- The speaker stops by a landscape during winter. The speaker provides descriptions of "broad muddy fields browning with dried weeds." The repetition of the color brown continues and the speaker comments on "dead brown leaves" hanging from the trees.
- The poet uses noun phrases in the poem. leaves are “dead” and the vines “leafless.”
- The poet uses personification and spring is personified as "sluggish" and "dazed". He says the spring enters like a foreiger and says how the landscape changes. The environment is described as a "naked" newborn fresh from the womb arriving into a confusing world.
What he means by this is that he will earn his grave. Another common phrase that refers to a grave is "six feet under".

Among the choices, letter B is the most complex. This is because it uses two clauses just to deliver its meaning. Jamming a lot of clauses in one sentence would cause the reader to be 'breathless'. A good sentence must be short enough to be read in one breath, but precise in meaning. One clause could be enough. If you want to add more information, you can use conjunctions or transition words. But do not overdo it.
