I agree.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The distressing tone of the poem can be found in line 3: "Skeletons of corn." This line evokes a sense of decay and abandonment, as the image of old men bent over and compared to skeletons suggests aging, frailty, and death. The word "skeletons" implies a lack of life and vitality, which contributes to the distressing tone of the poem. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: line 3.
