Answer as written by the student:
The correct answer is C) By making a wish
Step-by-Step explanation of the answer:
To answer this question, we need to know how the poet ends the poem. We can use information from the text to find out how the poet ends the poem.
For example, the text says: “Now I’ll count up to twelve and you keep quiet and I will go.” This tells us that the poet ends the poem by saying that he will count up to twelve and then leave, while asking us to keep quiet.
Another example from the poem says: “The poet ends the poem by making a wish that we all keep quiet for a moment and experience peace and harmony with ourselves and nature. He does not impose his idea on us, but rather invites us to join him in his experiment of silence. He hopes that by keeping quiet, we will realize the value of life and the need for change.” This tells us that the poet ends the poem by making a wish for us and for the world.
Therefore, we can conclude that the correct answer is option C) By making a wish.
