Answer 2

Answer:

PLEASE ARK ME AS THE BRAINLIEST.

Explanation:

Personification and Anaphora. The poem begins in the form of a question. The poet wants to know what the boy would do now that he has lost the ball he had been playing with. The word ‘merrily’ captures the mood of the child before the loss of the ball and also seems to reflect the motion of the ball bouncing down the wood, unhindered in the absence of obstacles on its way, as if engaged in a ‘merry’ motion.
