Answer 2

Answer:

(a) The little horse that is referred to belongs to the speaker. (b) The speaker and the horse are in the woods. (c) The horse must find stopping at a place where there is no farmhouse queer. (d) The horse shakes his harness bells as if to ask why they have stopped, the traveller enjoys the surroundings and later realises that he has other work to attend to.

Explanation:

• The line "My little horse must think it queer" is from Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by the Woods Snowy Evening."
• In this poem, the poet persona is travelling on his horse through the woods.
• The beauty of the woods in winter makes him stop and take in his surroundings.
• The horse finds it strange to have stopped at a place in the woods where there is no farmhouse to rest.
• The poet persona realises that he has important things to do before he sleeps, and has "promises to keep".
• The word "sleep", here refers to physically sleeping as well as death. The poet talks about the duties that must be fulfilled.
