Answer :
This question is based on the poem 'Who Knows If The Moon’s' by E. E. Cummings.
1.B. In the poem 'Who Knows If The Moon's," the moon is seen as a balloon.
The following lines from the poem provide the answer :
'who knows if the moon’s
a baloon,coming out of a keen city
in the sky—filled with pretty people?'
2.D. In the poem "Who Knows If The Moon's," the speaker imagines traveling to a city in the sky.
The following lines from the poem provide the answer :
'away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody’s ever visited,where
always it’s Spring and everyone’s
in love and flowers pick themselves'
3.D. The line from the poem which best supports the idea that the moon might be a perfect place is 'where it's always Spring and everyone's in love.
According to the poet, the ideal conditions of Spring and everyone being in love make the moon the perfect place.
4.A. The meaning of the word 'steeples' from the poem is towers rising above churches.
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'steeples' as 'a pointed structure on the top of a church tower, or the tower and the pointed structure considered as one unit.'
