No problem! Let's analyze the given lines from "Train Tune" and see what we can infer from the absence of punctuation.
The lines in question are: "Back through plains/Back through flowers/Back through birds/Back through rain."
The absence of punctuation in these lines suggests a continuous flow or movement. It implies that the train is passing through various landscapes without any interruptions or breaks.
Now let's consider the options:
A. The train does not pause on its journey.
This option aligns with the interpretation we made. The absence of punctuation supports the idea that the train does not pause during its journey.
B. The train pauses to avoid hitting birds.
Since there is no punctuation indicating a pause when encountering birds, this option is less likely to be correct.
C. The train goes faster through the opening country.
The absence of punctuation does not directly indicate a change in the train's speed. It simply conveys the continuous movement through different landscapes.
D. The train pauses for people to look at the flowers.
Similar to option B, no punctuation suggests that the train does not pause specifically for people to admire the flowers.
Based on our analysis, option A (The train does not pause on its journey) seems to be the most accurate interpretation of the absence of punctuation in these lines.
