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.
"Sentences" is the punning word in #1, for judges give out sentences. And teachers, as well. Get it? Sentences?
"Manor" is the punning word in #2. Get that? Castle? Home? Manor instead of manner? A pun is a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings.
Another example of a pun is:
The pigs were a squeal.
I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. And then it hit me.
Do you understand now? LOL. (: Hope this helps(:

I think the author's development of Pratap's character in the story in the given excerpt above would be seen through the writer's use of the character's point of view and attitude. It can be clearly seen that Pratap didn't like people that much and preferred a taciturn companion with the hobby he had which is fishing.
The answer is C rhetorical question
