Answer 1

An overcoat of gray means 2. his body is covered with gray hair.

• The colour of the hair of squirrel's body is gray and hence the poet uses the words 'an overcoat of gray' to describe the colour of the body of the squirrel.
• The poet further mentions that the tail of the squirrel was like a question mark.
• Hence, option 2 'his body is covered with gray hair' is correct.
• Other options, such as his skin is of gray colour is not correct as the skin was hidden underneath the gray hair.
