Sorry I made a typo. #1 should say "Birches" not "Briches".
and I think the answer for #1 is D, please correct me if im wrong
Yes. A is correct. It evokes a nostalgic mood.
The definition of nostalgic is "characterized by or exhibiting feelings of nostalgia."
so if there's a better answer than D then my next prediction is C because it shows feelings. Ms. Sue am I correct this time?
"a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations"
A because it say "back to be" and "back" represents the past. am I correct Ms.Sue
Thanks for the typo correction.
Considering the meaning of "nostalgic," I think there's a better answer than D.
Yes.
