Question

Read the excerpt from "Mending Wall." We keep the wall between us as we go. To each the boulders that have fallen to each. And some are loaves and some so nearly balls We have to use a spell to make them balance: "Stay where you are until our backs are turned!" We wear our fingers rough with handling them. Oh, just another kind of out-door game, One on a side. It comes to little more: There where it is we do not need the wall: He is all pine and I am apple orchard. What does the line “And some are loaves and some so nearly balls” refer to? A. the lunch that the speaker shares. B. toys that they find while working. C. a game that the neighbor plays. D. the rocks that make the wall

Answer 1

The right answer here is D. the rocks that make the wall.

In "And some are loaves and some so nearly balls", "some" refers to the boulders or the rocks that make the wall between them.

He wants to point out that this wall is made of things the shape of which is not really logical (walls are usually made of bricks which perfectly fit one onto the other), such as loaves and balls the same way people build walls in real life based on reasons that are not really logical either, but the wall is somehow kept balanced and standing.

Answer 2

The rocks that make the wall

Further Explanation:

“Mending Wall” is a narrative about two neighbours who meet each other during every spring in order to repair a stone wall which creates the division among their properties. This narrative was written by Robert Frost. The theme of this poem revolves around the wall and how both the neighbours perceive each other. During the spring of every year, the narrator contacts his older neighbour and they walk the wall as well as to replace the walls which have fallen.  

The narrator of the story thinks that his neighbour is less enlightened than he is and calls his neighbour by the name of “an Old-stone savage”. The narrator is the one who instigates the mending every year and also states that he would never do something mindlessly like his neighbour.
